At week’s notice

Hi,

“You should have given me at least two weeks’ notice when you wanted me to change my plans because of you.”

“I gave my boss a two weeks’ notice.”

“You can’t inform people at just one day’s notice that they’ll have to work overtime.”

Why is the indefinite article omitted in the first sentence but present in the other two?

I found these examples on the Internet.

Thank you.
