    Resignation with 2 week notice
    In Tennessee, an employee turned in her resignation with a 2 week notice. Since then she has been tardy, has left early and called in sick and been very disruptive throughout the office. If I tell her never mind to working her notice, do I still have to pay her for the two weeks and is that considered termination instead of voluntary quit ?

    Your chocie, you will have to either
    Write her up and give her warnings and then fire her,

    If the problems are serous enough to allow firing without warning, you can just fire them.

    Since she has obviously abused her final two weeks with her employer, she faces immediate termination. And no, you don't pay her for two weeks. You pay her only for the days or hours that she has worked up to the time she is terminated. She would be technically terminated and not voluntary quit as she did not live up to her obligation as an employee and showed up to do her job. If you give her a previously prepared check you can show her the door and have her leave the premises immediately.

    Hello P:

    She quit. You are not required to keep her OR pay her for the two weeks.

    What?? If she were a cashier, you wouldn't let her work the two weeks, unless you're nuts.

    Two week notice is a customary courtesy due the employer. If the employer doesn't care to take advantage of that courtesy, so be it.
