Let me suggest another scenario.
Dear employee, you're fired, however, please don't tell anyone that you've 
been fired, go away and don't show up, and we'll keep paying you for another 
month.  If you open your mouth, we won't.

So it's also an assumption that he's "working".  At least in the office.
