Even if they hire everyone back, it might be good to put a little fear into the employees (by firing them) to increase productivity. I dont know much about human resources, so I cant say for sure that it's a good idea.

With the company I worked for they did it in an interesting way. You filled out your application and handed it in just like you were applying for a job. Over the course of a week or so they called everyone in one at a time and interviewed them. Then after all the interviews were done they sent everyone home early on a friday, told you to take all your personal belongings and that you would be paid for the full day. They also and told you that you would hear from them over the weekend.
I got a call Friday afternoon telling me I would be brought back and to be in at regular time Monday morning. Those who didn't get brought back were told that their access keys had been shut off so they had no access to the building and that their last checks had already been mailed. I guess it worked well because this way they didn't have to deal with any angry employees doing something stupid. I once worked for a company that laid a bunch of people off at the beginning of their shift and had a guy flip out. He attacked his manager and it took a few guys to hold him down and restrain him.
