I think that is saying CBP may give you an extra 10 days on your last entry after your visa expires on your I-94 so given that then it is thought that it is ok to stay up to 10 days once your work authorization ends (10 days after your last day at work).
You can file I-539 though for a change of status to B2 to either get your affairs in order or find someone else that is willing to get a LCA for you so you can file an E3 with them, where are you located and what field do you work in? There is a pretty strong Aussie expat community here so it might not be as difficult as you think to find another employer but you have to really spring into action so you can remain in or at least close to being in status.
Im in Texas, and I work in Digital Media/Audio Visual. The thing is, I have some other employment opportunities lined up it's just that I know I have to leave the country anyway to get another Visa.

What confuses me, is whats stated here: http://www.jackson-hertogs.com/jh/80542.pdf
"The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) has issued memoranda indicating that H-1B status ends when H-1B employment
terminates. That is, there is no grace period in the event of layoff. While USCIS has not explicitly stated that the same rule applies for L-1, E-1,E-2, E-3, H-1B1, O-1, and TN nonimmigrants, the same logic would presumably apply. There has been confusion concerning a “10-day” rule.The law provides no 10-day grace period for laid off employees. The “10-day rule” actually refers to an I-94 entry record that is valid for anadditional 10 days beyond the petition period during which an individual may remain in the U.S. to prepare for departure. It is not a period ofwork authorization and must be actually noted on the I-94 at the time of admission to apply to any given individual." -
Then are not going to come hunting you down if that is what you mean.
Yes, but at the same time I dont want to hurt my chances of returning back.

Last day
If that is the case, what happens if I am still in the US after the 24th? (10 days from my last day)
-
H1b is usually thought to be 10 days, so should be the same, that is not a specific allowance but just what is considered acceptable.
The question I have is whether it was from my last working day (which was the 14th) or Today (the day he notified USCIS)
-
So my most recent job has ended, my last day was last Friday (the 14th) and my former employee informed me he notified USCIS that I was no longer working for him. So when exactly do I have to leave the country? Is it 10 days from today? (the day he notified USCIS?)
On E3 Visa, just got laid off, options?
in Work Visas
