No, you are not entitled to that pay. You may be entitled to unused vacation time, depending on company policy.
It is very common for companies to immediately terminate an employee when they turn in their notice. Sometimes, security stands over the employee as they clean out their desk and are escorted out of the building.
The employer figures you won't be working very hard and might be taking confidential information.

If you are not contracted with the company to work out a notice then you can quit at any point and the employer can terminate you at any point (it goes both ways).
You gave a 2 week notice out of common courtesy and they chose not to accept it - which they have a right to do. No you will not get paid for that.

taxless,
Nope.
sorry u learned a new lesson .
when u work for some one else it is at their choice.
u gave them 2weeks note and they showed u the door very legal in most states countries.
suggest if u need the money visit local day labor pools look in yellow pages.
suggest u do visit daveramsey.com to learn what u haven't been taught about ur cash so the next job jump or faillure will not be such a drag.

Depends upon your state's labor laws. If you work in a "right to work" (aka:"work at will") state, like Texas, the answer is no. If you are Union, etc., then you may quality for the pay.
Here is a link that shows the states that "right to work" (& right to fire at will) laws apply.

Note: This is US law. I'm not sure if you are UK or Canada.

No, you are not entitled to pay that you have not earned. However, he is required to issue your final paycheck within 24 in most states.

Depends on your contract. If you have one that states you have to give notice, then yes, they should pay you as they have decided you shouldn't be on the premises for security reasons.
If you have no contract, then no. They can sack you when they like and you can walk away when you want to.
Edit - Sorry, my answer was based on UK law. Canada may be different.

Check your local labor laws. If your termination after giving notice is considered that you were fired, you may qualify for unemployment. Check with your local labor authorities about it.

He basically fired you, so I don't think you are going to get any extra pay, other than what vacation and sick time you had left.

basically you were fired, if you are working under as "at will" then you won't receive anything.
