    Unless you have a contract for employment they only have to pay you for the time you actually worked.

    Most state employee laws have "employee at will" laws. Which means that your employer may fire you at anytime with a reasonable cause.

    No, they do not have to pay you if you don't actually work those 2 weeks. Unless your under a contract then they would have to buy you out.

    Check your employee laws for your state.

    it is against the law to let you go without a very strict reason - probable cause. They can't just let you go because they are pissed that you put your two weeks notice in. That is against the law. You should google New York State employment laws.

    nope, i don't think so. a lot of employers will shove you out the door because they think that you may not really "work" during those last two weeks. that's why a lot of people use up their vacation/sick days and then call in one day and say, i ain't comin in no more.

    Depends what's in your contract, and only you and your employer know that.
