Very commonly done. Even at higher levels. A person who is "checked out" can do a lot of damage to the morale on the team. So, unless there is something urgent they need to hand down / finish, HR often sends people on their way. And in a solid company, it will be with a 2 week notice, just like the employee leaving was offering. This is another reason to give 2 weeks. You may actually get an extra 2 weeks pay out of the deal!
