If you give your employer a 2 wk notice and they let you go on the spot, and do not pay you for the 2 wks you?

Question

have given? Isn't that against the law? Aren't they suppose to pay you for the 2 week notice?

Answer 1

Not at all. They can fire you on the spot if they wish. Your 2 week notice has nothing to do with law, it is merely a courtesy so that your company can find someone to replace you. It also looks good the next job you get because it shows you won't leave them stranded, but if they decide that they can do without your two weeks, then they can terminate your employment on the spot. Always be ready to move into your new job before you plan on quitting.

Answer 2

No it's not against the law and no, they don't have to pay you the 2 weeks notice.

Of course that sounds harsh, but there are reasons why employers do this. If you are in a position in which you have access to confidential, financial, or sales information (or access to customers), they may simply have a policy not to take the "risk" on any employee who may be in a position to sabatoge or exploit that data or take customers with them.

Although it sucks, and you may have been counting on working that 2 weeks, it shouldn't be taken personally when that is the case.

Answer 3

no because a lot of times they assume that if you give a two week notice that during those two weeks your work will suffer because you don't care anymore about the job since you're leaving. by the way they aren't paying you for the notice they are paying you for the hours you work

Answer 4

No, they have no legal obligation to pay you for the two weeks. They have the right to let you go at any time, and they legally only owe you for the hours that you actually worked.

Answer 5

the employer has no obligations, however you can collect the 2 weeks pay from the unemployment office

Answer 6

It depends on how long you have been with the company and what state you live in and how big the company is.

Answer 7

got to the unempolyement and report them
