I find that a shockingly poor decision if true. I'd also be surprised if you can enforce it.

6-8 weeks notice of your job ending sounds quite gracious of your employers - and more than the usual minimum required, expected, or given.

I would be astonished if you received payment beyond two months. And I'd be pretty horrified at the expectation of receiving that and ashamed to expect it.
