If you put in a 2 weeks notice w/your employer & they say "We accept your resignation effective today," do they have to pay you for the next 2 weeks?

Sorry, Frankie, people aren't guessing when they say no, the company doesn't have to pay you for the two weeks after you are no longer working - just because it isn't the answer you want to hear doesn't make it wrong.

no, it is common practice with some companies, especially if they deal with trade secrets or if they believe the employee has the potential to cause a problem before they leave.

You only have to be paid through your last day worked.

There is no Federal law that you are to be paid through your notice. Entirely up to the Company.

No. That is their option. You already quit so unemployment is out of the question with very few exceptions.

Since each employers' rules on this may be different, please check around for any written information on this BEFORE you give your notice.
