That depends on your juridiction. For instance, Oregon is an "at will" state, and you can be fired with no severance notice at all. By convention, it is polite to give two weeks notice or pay in lieu of notice, but there is no actual legal requirement to do so. Disclaimer: I am not a lawyer, this is not legal advice.
