Just how many iPhones do you think Ireland buys?!. Apple (and Google and Microsoft and every other large tech company... ) pay minimal tax in the countries they sell their products, via a series of tax setups & company structures that allow them to take the profits out of the country the money is made before it is considered "profit", to a country where less tax has to be paid. This isn't new - global corporations have been doing forever. Whats changed is that software & IP is a lot more valuable and easy to shift over borders & the numbers are now staggering so it gets noticed.

We in NZ, the land of the NSA-loving GCSB, there is an amount of time agreed up front, most commonly linked to either the time it would take to replace you, or your pay cycle. If you give notice, and leave early, there is no requirement for the company to pay your notice period as you effectively abandoned the role. If they company decides to walk you, they still have to pay you in lieu of notice. Either way, you still get any wages due, plus any holiday pay owing.
