2 Weeks Notice Question

[draygnmage]

Ohio. A friend of mine and I are having a disagreement regarding employment law in Ohio. He claims that if you give your 2 weeks notice in writing and they in turn fire you and walk you out, that you are entitled to the pay you would have received had you worked the 2 weeks. My thinking is that since Ohio is an "at will employment" state, that if they walk you out, they are essentially firing you and don't have to pay you a dime. Which of us is correct? If either?

You are, with regards to the pay. In no state is an employer required to pay out an unworked notice period, no matter what the reason that the notice was unworked.

However, you are not being fired. Your notice is being accepted effective immediately.

once you give notice it, the employer can choose to let you go or let you work out that week. sometime it's better to cut the cord if that person is disgruntled.
