Bidirectional notice periods tend to be contract, rather than statute. That is, it exists because the country has not legislated against it, and it's by convention included in the contracts.

Depends on country - Polish employment law has "notice period" be bidirectional asa statute unless a gross abuse happened (enumerated in another section of employment law). Shortening notice period is a bidirectional contract where the employee may forfeit owed wages for shorter notice period.
