Answer 1

no, they don't have to pay you if your not working.  Most companies want you to stay until your last day.  As a matter of courtesy, some companies will pay you if they ask you to leave early.

look at it the other way, would your work overtime for free?

Answer 2

yes, it's law in Ontario anyway..they have effectively terminated you without notice and must pay you in lieu of notice

Answer 3

not in most states - when you give notice, be prepared to have them tell you to leave that day - they don't want to risk employees taking company info with them or sabotaging the computer systems

Answer 4

You don't get paid for work you don't do. That's the law.

The only exception to this is if you have a written agreement to be paid regardless of whether you show up to work or not.
