: Don't go a bundle on the C-R suggestion as a "plan" and "scheme" are pretty synonymous but a "planned xxx scheme" changes the meaning somewhat.

: I have heard a lot of Europeans say this but I don't think native English speakers outside of continental Europe would know what it is.

severance package
In the US, "severence package" (if not only "severance pay" - depending on how generous the company in question is!) is used by many businesses.

layoff plan/agreement
This is more a question than an answer. I agree with William that "redundancy" means nothing to most US English speakers in this context.
I know that "layoff plan" is definitely used in a wider context (the company's general plans to reduce the workforce) but can it also be used to describe the planning of the severance package they plan to offer?
As for layoff agreement, see:
"But by keeping a cool head and evaluating your options before you sign any layoff agreement, you may be able to take some of the fear and financial uncertainty out of the equation."
