Yeah, I also thought this smacked of damage control. Sometimes companies won't do anything about that one problem employee until it becomes a national embarrassment.

Also, what are the chances that they don't either rehire him after a while and/or just change his employment status to "contractor" so that they can claim he isn't an employee?

They're small town where everyone knows each other so I think it's possible they won't do this.
