When you quit a job and give two weeks' notice, and your bosses tell you to leave immediately, do you get paid for those two weeks?

1 Answer

Answer :

I would guess, no. EDIT There are multiple factors to consier. e.g. What was your relationship w/ your employer? Did you leave on good terms? Are you hourly or salaried? Typically, any employer can let you go w/out cause….i.e. they don’t have to have a reason. They aren’t obligated to pay you the two weeks, however they should pay you for vacation time. When someone is leaving, often the employer will want them gone ASAP so as not to cause uphevel w/ other employees. If you are leaving on reasonable terms, the employer would do well to pay you the two weeks, whether obligated to do so or not, so that there are no “hard feelings” on your part….
