I don't know that it's a *law* that you must do so.

It *is* however corporate policy in many places.  It's especially helpful
if you're terminating an employee who won't take it well - while you have
him in the office, you can have others running around killing access to
computer systems, building security systems, and the like, and have security
escort the person off the grounds.

We've only had 1 or 2 of those cases here in 17-18 years, but it's good to
have policy in place in case a well-placed "we wish you'd seek employment
elsewhere" hint isn't suitable or sufficient.
