If you give two weeks it depends on department and role if you get walked out same day. Most will not. Those that do will still pay you for the two weeks.

Someone posted above, it’s highly dependent on the person’s role and what information they might have access to. I worked with two people separate times and regions at ESI who were walked out the door same day they gave their notice, but both were in position to have proprietary knowledge that could harm the company if shared with competitors. It wasn’t malicious or for cause, just likely why give them two more weeks of access to insider information.
Assuming you mean when an employee is s leaving and gives a 2 weeks notice.
Whether or not they allow you to stay depends on how information sensitive your role is.
I have heard of Cigna just telling the employee to leave immediately and then pay them through their notice period, but this is uncommon.
If they are laying you off and giving severance, then yes, they do. If you are asking if they would do something after you give a two-week notice that you are leaving, then not sure. I would doubt they would just say "oh you are leaving, well actually just leave today" if you have them the courtesy and notice that they need to find your replacement. Keep in mind that on that front the "two-week notice" for letting an employer know is basically an unwritten rule and you really could just tell them "hey today is my last day!" Though that has a higher chance of burning bridges.
Do you mean if they give two weeks notice or severance when laying people off? Yes, but they do NOT have to give it in a lump sum, can spread it out over a few weeks unless required by state law.
