That's why you're usually put on garden leave immediately after being told. Or if in the US, just straight up kicked out I guess.

You get paid, but you're not allowed to come to work. You're banned from the workplace, usually as a security/safety measure, but because of labour laws or contractual obligations they can't stop paying you yet.
