Veteran  260   Near Salt Lake City |  Subject: Two weeks notice- HR QuestionOK, I'm considering taking a new job and will obviously give a two week notice if I do take it. I've heard that if you offer a two week notice and your employer tells you to leave that day, they still have to pay you for the two weeks you offered to stay. True? sounds untrue to me, just wondering though. My company has a history of walking people out the door the day they quit. |

Coach 9167  Stairway to Seven | Subject: RE: Two weeks notice- HR Question I would think this would be spelled out in your contract about how much advnace notice you must give them and vice/versa. Even a 5 year contact with a clause stating you must give 90 days notice or they must give you 90 days notice is really only a 3 month contract. The "2 week's notice" think is really just a social convention I think. Don't know. Only quit one job, but it was a retail store so I did the 2 week's notice deal and it worked fine for both of us, but my new employer wanted me to start that day and I told him I couldn't. |

Expert 1274 Houston, TX | Subject: RE: Two weeks notice- HR Question I had this same fear a few months ago when I changed jobs because the company I was with was notorious for doing the same thing. I was told though that if they had you go ahead and leave they paid you for that time. They needed me to stay so I didn't have that little paid vacation. It could be on a company by company basis. I don't think I have ever heard any law about it. |

Champion 7558 Albuquerque, New Mexico | Subject: RE: Two weeks notice- HR Question Depends on the company and your specific situation. If you are going to a "competitor" most companies will walk you out as soon as you give notice. They'll pay you for the 2 weeks. If you have unpaid vacation, they'll usually make you take that before they just pay you to not be there. If this is your situation, have your desk already cleaned out and use up all of your vacation before you give notice. Some companies do this regardless. Others, if you are not going to a competitor and they need work done will try to accommodate you on the transition. |

Master 2249 Colorado | Subject: RE: Two weeks notice- HR Question Look at your contract or employee handbook to see if they require a notice. If they do and they show you the door instead, they are required to pay you for that time. What state are you in and I'll check the law for sure.... If they don't pay you for that, then it is considered a firing. Which brings in unemployement compensation.... I did some HR for a time, so I'll do the research for you. I've got the time, its not like I'm training or anything....  Edited by regimom 2006-11-20 2:51 PM |

Master 2232 Des Moines, Iowa | Subject: RE: Two weeks notice- HR Question I've been on the other end of this a couple of times. If it was in the best interest of the company to have the employee leave that day, we always paid them for the 2 week notice; or whatever the agreed upon notice length was. We also paid for vacation or other PTO they had in the bank. Usually the only reason an employee was asked to leave that day was for I/T security. If they didn't have a sensitive job, it was better to have them stay and help with the transition. |

I'll wear a HRM next time. I thought the same thing when I read this thread. Too bad I was too late to be the first with a smart- comment. I'm surprised it took as long as it did... |

True? sounds untrue to me, just wondering though. My company has a history of walking people out the door the day they quit. Here in Utah we are an "at will employment state" Which basically means they can fire you pretty much any time they want for any reason. The will probably pay you for two weeks, but don't have to. If your company has a history of being jerks, don't do them any favors by giving notice. |
