For example, up to 12 months of salary in Spain (with 20 days of salary for each year at the company), if a layoff meets certain conditions (that are usually met). Up to 24 months (with 33 days per year) if the conditions are not met.

Die Kündigungsfrist beginnt bei 3 Monaten und geht schnell auf 2 Jahre hoch. FAANGs suspendieren ihre Mitarbeiter ab dem Punkt, wo die Kündigung mitgeteilt wurde, dementsprechend bekommt man üblicherweise die Kündigungsfrist ausbezahlt.
