What is the name of your state? Ky
I recently gave my two week notice and I would like to know if the company I work for is bound by their employee handbook. In the handbook it states under the resignation section that they request a two week notice however the company may opt to pay the employee for the last two weeks instead of requiring them to work the days. Also, it states that an employee must submit their two weeks and work the two weeks to be paid for accrued vacation.
This employer has a habit of telling employees that give their two week notice to either leave then or during the two week period once they have replaced the employee. For example a coworker gave notice and two days prior to completing the two week notice period she was told her services were no longer needed. I think it would be unfair to "fire" someone to avoid complying with paying them for their last two days and vacation time.
Since their handbook states that they may pay the employee instead of requiring them to work the time are they bound by this.
Also, I only worked there for 4 months but it does not stipulate a time period in the handbook for these benefits. Is that an issue?
