Some companies choose to pay "two weeks in lieu of notice" when they decide not to let the employee work following notice. Getting final pay right is just as important in a resignation as in a termination, as improper final pay can lead to a wage and hour claim.I resigned today offering a 2-week notice. My boss said no, you can finish now. Resignation letters in Florida should generally contain a specific reason for the resignation and a forwarding address. Accepting a resignation early without paying the employee for the notice period can have consequences, if the employee gave more than two weeks' notice. Assuming there is no contract or agreement to the contrary, you're not required to keep an employee on during their resignation notice period. 434 votes, 425 comments.
