I resigned and gave 2 weeks notice, can I be asked to leave immediately?
Question Details:
They said that afternoon to pack my desk and that was my last day. I am a single mother and have a mortgage to pay. I need to know if they have to pay me the 2 weeks?
I agree with the previous answer, but I would add that you may have a claim for unemployment compensation, and you should certainly consider filing for same.
Unfortunately,you be asked to leave your place workplace immediately. And no, you are not entitled to this pay. The reason is that an employer need only pay an employee for the time that was actually worked even if the employee was willing to stay. The fact is that giving a 2-week notice is a courtesy on an employee's part. However, an employer need not return the courtesy. Basically, unless you have something such as an employment/union agreemnt which provides for different treatment or this is in violation of company policy (either written or runs counter to the way in which other employees in thew same situation were treated), your employer's actions are legal.
Note: If you feel that discrimination played some sort of role, you may have a claim. However, you did not indicate this to be the case.
