In many states, you cannot do that legally. e.g., if $employee has
some intellecutal property wrapped up in his head, you still have to
pay him. If $employee has got physical material that belongs to the
company, you still have to pay him. There are many states where the
legal position "ah, that's nice. Pay him, and then take him to court
if you want $something, because he's earned that pay and there's
nothing you can do to change that."
