My friends who've gotten this have called it non-compete. Definitely not severance, you can take another job once you've got severance. My friends were getting paid to not work for a few months until their current knowledge of the business was not current anymore.

Garden leave is a paid non-compete. There's no legal contract called "Garden Leave" and the non-compete wouldn't be enforceable in most states without pay.

*Garden leave.

Though, I suppose, you could spend the time gardening.

It's either. More common in the UK to call it "gardening leave" than in the US.
