If an employee gives two-weeks’ notice but I ask them to leave immediately, am I required to pay them the full two weeks?

Requiring early leave when an employee gives their two-week notice could qualify as an involuntary termination, which would give your former employee the right to collect unemployment benefits. The answer to this question depends completely on the circumstances – if you’re in this situation, it would be in your best interest to contact us immediately. You absolutely want a policy covering this situation as well as a standard operating procedure for the internal end!
