I work in a chemical plant and I've heard that if you put in a 2 week notice they will tell you just not to come back for fear you will mess something up.
I can't afford to miss 2 weeks of pay. Can I draw unemployment for 2 weeks if this is the case?? It seems like being let go without just cause since I would be trying to do the right thing by giving notice I am leaving. I just got a new job so any answers would be helpful!!!

In CA you can not collect unemployment once you give them your 2 weeks and they let you go before. What they should do is pay you for those 2 weeks and any unused vacation time you have accumulated.
I had a job where I gave 2 weeks notice and 2 days later they gave me my two weeks pay and vacation along with sick time that I had unused.
So if the company is ethical they should do what they did to me, if not then you are S.O.L.

I think it might depends on the company. At my company, whenever someone resigned, my manager would tell them they didn't have to come back for the remaining 2 weeks, BUT that employee would still get paid for those last 2 weeks. The home office would just mail them their last paycheck. That seems like the only ethical thing to do if the company doesn't want the employee to stay the last couple of weeks. My company let them go early for the same reason yours does, so that the person couldn't mess anything up (if they were disgruntled) or walk off with confidential information about our clients. If your company doesn't give you that last check, call the unemployment dept and see what they say about this scenario.

Once you tell them you are leaving, they have the right to let you go right then and there, if they so choose. You already quit, therefore, you can't get unemployment, because they didn't technically terminate you.

I would apply for UE. The worst thing they can say is no. I would also call the new employer to apprise them of your current status. They may say you can start right away.

Yes, they can decline your notice and let you go immediately. If this happens, you can file for unelployment., and it is possible you can collect something.
Usually, there is no benefit for the first week.
