HI! From my experiances, no matter how "good" of terms the employee and employer are on when the employee leaves, it is best to lock the employee's network account and any other network acccess they may have--inclouding email, VPN, etc--you probably wont need to delete the user's account as sometimes the manager or person taking over needs access to their files and what not. It isnt personal or meant to be degrading to the employee, it is just protecting company data. However, have you checked ZDnet or Cnet for an actual white paper for policies and procedures? That is where I would check if you need something more "formal" than my reply--I love those sites. Hope this helps. :)
Have a grrreat week!

change all their password so they can't login from a remote location and cause any damage and take the PC they used off the network and pull whatever data needed off the machine, reformat the drive 13 times and reinstall the OS.
