I have been offered a position with another company and will give my employer a 2 week notice. If my employer asks me to leave prior to the two weeks is he by law or obligated any way to pay out that 2 weeks which is above and beyond my earned benefits I have with the company? I am a good employee, but there will be some tension with the company I am moving on to so that is why I forsee a some possible friction.

Generally, an employer can fire an employee for no cause at any time, even after notice to quit has been given.
On the other hand, you may have a claim for improper discharge resulting from retaliation for your notice. Generally, the most you may be able to recover will be the two weeks of pay as damages, unless your new employer can start you before the two weeks is up, in which case you will recover less.
As far as your employer not paying and having to fight a claim for wrongful discharge, it would probably be well worth the money to just pay you for the two weeks whether they have you work those two weeks or not. They may not want you to actually work the two weeks to lessen the chance of sabitage or something along those lines, not that you would, but it has happened.
Good luck!

the two week notice isn't an obligation on either side, it's just considered common courtesy. The day you give your notice, your employer can easily say they are not in need of your services and just let you go. Calling the two weeks "vacation"...and ending your employment right then.

No. That happened to me and there is no law that says that. It is purely voluntary.
I believed that and demanded my money. I found out there is no law, and this was in Chicago. Perhaps in other places it is a law.
They made me leave the same day as well. I was in sales and they were afraid I was going to steal files or something.
I did enjoy the time off though.

Most employers won't fire you since they need you to train another employee. If they do then I guess they never really cared about you.
There is no law about 2 weeks.

NO! But they can ask you to leave the company immediately if they so choose! Unless you're a salaried employee with a pre-employment contract- your up sheeps creek without a paddle!
I would say that if they are totally P.O.ed by your terminating employment, count on a bad reference as a retalitory thank you for making us our millions! Welcome to CORPORATE AMERICA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
