Does my employer have to pay me....

Question

I put in my 2 week notice on Friday. I went in yesterday and they said they were putting me on a two day subspention. But they said since I put in my two week notice they said they agreed for it to take effect immediently. they said on my record it wouldn't say I was fired. So my question is do they have to pay me for the remaining two weeks that I have been planing on working? I was told by someone that they had too since I agreed to work.

Answer 1

No, they don't have to pay you for the time since you won't be working.

Answer 2

Honestly it would look like you were terminated if they told you not to come in before your 2 weeks were up. Plus u wouldn't be paid anything except for the days you actually worked unless you had vacation days etc that you didn't use and that would depend on the company.

Answer 3

they don't have to pay you in most states and they don't have to let you stay the full 2 weeks - that's a risk you take in giving notice

Answer 4

Unless you have specific terms in an employment contract the two week notice is only a courtesy.  Laying your off after you gave notice is not very courteous but there would be no legal requirement to pay for that time unless a contract existed.
