Nothing - beyond professionalism. It is common for knowledge transfer to happen in this time, and any outstanding vacation days are usually taken at this time.

There's a huge cultural difference between US and Europe (rest of world?) when it comes to going to work after serving notice. It appears the employer/employee relationship is more adversarial, so much so that the employee is not trusted/expected to do the right thing after being fired (or after they quit) - the whole "immediately getting escorted out of the building by security" is unheard of in Europe.

It's not unheard of, but it happens quite rarely. Violence, or threats of violence, typically leads to being escorted out immediately here in Europe too.

You are correct - when I was typing my previous comment, I had considered adding "unless criminal behavior is involved", but I thought it would make the sentence too unwieldy. If I could edit, I'd remove "unheard of" and replace it with "ridiculously uncommon"
