Q: I put my 2weeks in yesterday can they take me off the schedule completely?
I put in my two weeks yesterday due to drama with assistant manager and I called HR to file a complaint the next day I got a phone call from hr saying their is a Resignation form being done but I didn’t quit I just put in my two weeks I am scheduled to work so does this mean their firing? Or can they do that with the hours I’m already scheduled to work.
A:
There is nothing unlawful about an employer terminating an employee that gives notice of intent to quit. The law does not require the employer to keep you around. In fact it is quite common for this to happen as employers do not want to keep short timers around for several productivity, morale and security reasons.
Good luck to you.

A:
Yes, an employer can terminate an at will employee immediately upon receiving the employees 2 week notice of resignation, even if the employer requested that the employee provide 2 week notice of their resignation.
Thus, you need to carefully balance your needs for financial security with the employer's requests for a courtesy notice. Whether an employer will behave this way varies greatly, so you might watch how the company treats employees when they leave.
You should apply for unemployment immediately as you should qualify at least for the two weeks prior to your official resignation date.
