I put in my 2 wks, manager asked me this be my last day, shouldn't I still be paid for my two wks?

Question

My manager is my boyfriend's sister. To make a long story short, after a small argument with her, I decided to put in my two weeks yesterday because when situations occur in the store, it's hard for me to take criticism from her when I have a certain more personal relationship with her.

She was seriously offended and said it was like a slap in the face. She told me that today would be my last day to avoid "tension" in the store.

Well, I wanted to stay the two weeks for the money while I find a new job. If she's letting me go, should I still get paid out for the next 2 weeks because I wanted to stay and finish them out, but it was HER decision to let me go?

I ask because this happened at my last job to another person. Is it mandatory or do only certain companies do it? Because techinically, she has no real reason to let me go. I have no write-ups and have actually gone above and beyond at my job.

I live in New York State.

Answer 1

No, you are not "entitled" to any compensation for not working. Think through this for a few minutes. What sense would it make for an employer to pay people who are not working for them?

A "two-week notice" is a polite way of saying, "I'm leaving, I'll give you two weeks to find a replacement." It is only politeness. If you left with less "notice" than that, the company might provide you a less-than-favorable reference. That would be unfair--especially since you'd always been a good employee.

Imagine a McDonald's (or any other business with a high employee turnover) having to pay everyone who leaves their employ for two weeks they weren't working. I'm sure you can see how nutty that would be! Well, it is the same for any other type of business too.

You only get paid for work you actually DO--not for work you don't do.

Again, re-think your question. Is it her responsibility, under any stretch of the imagination, to pay you (or anyone) NOT to work for them? Of course not. Just because you wanted to stay, doesn't mean they want to keep you.

You are the one who quit working there--and you told your manager that you were going to quit working. As a convenience to YOU, you wanted to keep taking money from them for two more weeks. But, alas, they found that they could replace you more easily than that. You're gone and not doing any more work for them.

They have NO obligation to pay you ANYTHING when you aren't WORKING. Clearly you are a little naive. As you grow up, you'll start to learn that nobody, anywhere, owes you anything! If you don't earn it, you don't (and shouldn't) get anything.

Answer 2

Your boss does have the final say as to whether you stay or go, two weeks or not. I don't believe it is mandatory that the boss allow you to stay 2 weeks, but technically, this may mean you're being fired rather than quitting, and if so and you've been there long enough, you may qualify for unemployment. You need to look into the New York State laws as to how this is viewed.

Answer 3

I don't think here in New York you are entitled to anything legally. Legally employers aren't allowed to fire you for certain reasons but there are ways around any reason. Say they don't like that your a female-obviously they aren't going to say they are firing you because you are a female, they will make some story up like your work was lacking etc... However why is it that your sister is "firing" you rather than her boyfriend who is supposed to be the manager? Does your sister have true authority to fire you? What kind of company is this? If you get no where with the manager go higher up if you can and tell them that you were fired by someone who is not the manager because she is sleeping with the manager. Document and write letters!!! Good luck. Oh and by the way sorry your sister is such a b-word. My sister would never leave me in a tough situation like that!!!

Answer 4

No, you're not entitled to be paid for the two weeks that you won't be working.

There is some possibility that you could get unemployment comp for one of the weeks. You don't get it for the first week you're off - if you apply, you might get it for the second week. Might not though, since you quit.

Look for another job quick. You'd have been wise to do that before you turned in your notice.

Answer 5

It sounds like you may have been hired in the first place as a favor to your brother. What on earth makes you think that this grants you a "certain more personal relationship?" If you behave like a jerk toward your supervisor, you deserve to be let go immediately.

Your former boss was right. You were wrong. Try to be a better employee in your next job.

Oh, and if you and your boyfriend ever decide to get married, I wouldn't count on his sister agreeing to be your maid of honor.

Answer 6

he's only been there 2 weeks, it feels like he wasn't correct knowledgeable. you could no longer hearth somebody considering which you or somebody else grow to be too incompetent to coach him correct. you could revisit that, possibly be there greater, be greater in touch, do no longer place self belief in what others say. My final boss grow to be rather manipulated in this way through fact she grow to be not at all there. you would be greater palms on. in case you spot something he's doing incorrect then provide him innovations on what to do greater useful. it ought to have little to do with artwork ethic and greater to do with ideal education. and additionally you could no longer get aggravated while he brings in new business company... he's assisting the business company so be greater open minded to that. in case you're rude to human beings he brings in they'll only in turn tell others to no longer consume there... on the different hand in case you're sort to all and sundry, they'll in turn sell the business company. be responsive to mouth is the main useful thank you to the two develop a business company or wreck it. you would be responsive to that the individuals who rat on others are likely to be only attempting to redirect your interest faraway from themselves for his or her own problems. the staff could be centred on their own artwork, no longer pointing arms at others. As for the time sheets, i'm not sure why they are allowed to manually create time, it would be computerized someway... making up time from skinny air should not be achievable in any respect. you could make it sparkling on your coverage what's expected of them. base line, basically once you your self have witnessed an worker neglecting your education could you penalize that individual or hearth him... you could not at all place self belief in gossip.

Answer 7

No, you are not entitled to pay, simply because you gave two weeks notice. If the employer decides that your presence is detrimental, they have the right to ask you to leave immediately, and pay you for the work you have done.

It is not uncommon for departing employees to be asked to leave immediately upon notice. The choice of whether to offer 'departing pay' rests with the employer.

Answer 8

If you work those two weeks you have to be paid for your time. If she is not allowing you to work or if you do not work those two weeks she does not have to pay you.

Answer 9

If you're in a 'right to work' state, you can be let for for any reason. If your behavior is becoming disruptive, then you can be let go for that reason.

If you're let you, i.e., fired, you may qualify for unemployment compensation.

Answer 10

nope. no 2 weeks pay for you. That's just a courtesy thing on your part.
