The amount of severance pay differs from industry to industry and company to company in the US.  There is are no legal requirements so sometimes it is zero.  Two to three months is more common.  Six is considered extremely generous.

I've never heard of a restriction on how long you'd have to wait to be rehired.

When it comes to France, should this new contract be implemented, the layoff would take place without any compensation being due to the employee since the layoff takes place during the trial period.

That would be the big change vs the current practise : when fired, an employee under a fixed term or an unlimited term contract is entitled to compensation according to the motives that have led to the termination of the contract by the employer.
The lack of compensation is valid only when the redundancy occurs as a consequence of gross or/and wilful misconduct.

When through hell, just keep going. W. Churchill
