Most places in the US will have nothing about severance written down anywhere, but it's very common to actually pay severance in a mass layoff situation (unless the whole business is going under).

The US has the WARN Act, which requires 60 days' notice or 60 days' pay if at least 500 employees or 33% of the workplace are getting laid off (whichever is smaller). It's a threadbare legal minimum on severance, but there is a minimum.
