Person 'x' and Person 'y' are family members that work at the same company.
Person 'x' is terminated and immediately following termination person y's boss informs them that person x has been terminated.
Does person's 'x' have the right to not have this information formally disclosed to other employees?

Unless there is a contract explicitly prohibiting notification, it's fine to tell whomever.
As 'y' was an interested party still working at the company, I don't see any problem.
That said, it may be a firing offense for 'y' to provide any information to 'x' now, as 'x' is no longer part of the company.

Person Y's boss tells person y that person x has been fired and that person x is not allowed to mention this to any other employee.

Standard practice.
Edit: Bullshit, but still standard practice.

Person Y's boss tells person y that person x has been fired and that person x is not allowed to mention this to any other employee. Person Y doesn't have to tell anybody about it everyone is going to find out when person x stops showing up for work. I don't think it will be hard for people to find out what happens. I agree with socal though person Y should be careful what they tell person x about the company from here on out. |

I'm sure the company knows that person Y is talking to person X and divulging info about the company.... considering they are family members.
Personally, I pretty much think it's bullshit for almost anything that companies do towards their employees. If they are expecting person Y to not come home and talk about work to person X, they (the company) can blow themselves.
If I were person Y, I would start looking for somewhere else to work. Just my opinion though....
