Voluntary Termination

[mlineman]

What is the name of your state? MA

If an employee gives their two week notice and the employer decides they would rather the employee to leave immediately would the employer be required to pay the employee for the whole two weeks that the employee provided?

 

[eerelations]

Unless you have a contract with your employer that specifically states this will be done, then no, your employer is not legally required to pay out your two-week notice period.

Thank you for the information!

However, you can file for unemployment ins. for the notice period.

Yes, but just as an FYI, MA has a one-week waiting period so if accepted, there would only be benefits available for one week.

Right - I knew that & should probably have told OP that - thanks.
