If you're in the US, and...
a. The domains are registered to the fired employee, then the company is fucked, and will have to buy the domains from him...Really fucking stupid move to allow an employee to setup this stuff without using the company card, and having a legal paper trail of it.
b. The domains are owned by the company, and the fired employee is holding them "hostage," then he's a fucking moron and is going to find himself in a massive world of shit if he doesn't turn over the access privileges and tries to blackmail the company. If this is the case, the company can simply get in touch with the domain/hosting company, and reassume access privileges. Thereupon, they can file a suit of their own for lost time/resources in doing so, but at this point they would likely drop the issue cause they got what they needed/wanted.
