She was told that her resignation was accepted, effective immediately. Harvey submitted a claim for unemployment benefits.It is not legally required. If so, an employee could rely on the policy to support a claim for the two weeks' pay if the employer made the resignation effective immediately. Customer: I gave 30 day notice and they chose to accept it effective immediately. I have never been notified that I was terminated. Employers may also want to consider the impact an immediate separation would have on remaining employees. The reason is that your employer is not obligated to accept the 30 days of notice time. You should never sign a resignation letter under duress.
