The notice in the US is not a notice in the way you would apply it in Japan (or how common sense would dictate). It would be illegal to block someone from accessing company systems or premises just because you tell them "officially you are terminated in 60 days".

That "giving notice" is used in the message is because of some law (I forgot) that requires this time but also permits to actually block people from working as long as they are paid.
