Depending on how long it is (and usually that depends on company policy) you can ask for more money when they call you back. I did exactly that. I never would have gotten to that pay level otherwise. So that layoff ended up being quite profitable for me, even though I had to wait over a year. (Was working somewhere else in the mean time and making way less money.)
