Why not? Employers are not required to pay for non-work, unless there is a contractual agreement which requires them to do so.


Because if you give a two weeks notice, and they tell you to leave and not come back and they are not going to pay you out for the 2 weeks, they would be firing you. You could collect unemployment if they did.

There's a waiting period for unemployment insurance. In Louisiana it's one week. Additionally, if you have already accepted a job I don't think you can file for unemployment just to collect it for a week.

That is correct, which is much different from your statement, "An employer can't do this."

An employer CAN refuse the two weeks notice and terminate the employee immediately. It happens all the time.
