Husband turned in two week notice....

What gets me is that I've heard that a person can in some circumstances still be fired during that two week period and not always for cause. When I quit I want it on record that I quit not that I got fired. In the case I read about the former employee was able to draw unemployment though.

You give your employer a letter of resignation so you left on your terms.

If you quit, with a few exceptions, you do not get unemployment. Why should you? You chose to leave a paying job and now you want the state unemployment pool to pay you to not work?

I wasn't really talking about the unemployment payments. I find it unfair that someone can be fired without cause after giving two weeks notice. A company could just fire everyone that quits if that's OK. Who wants a firing on their record?

My first line was in reference to the firing part of your post.

"You give your employer a letter of resignation so you left on your terms."

In the scenario outlined, the terms were "detachment from employment two weeks later". Those were the employee's terms.

Which would make sense if the employee had quit. However, the employee had not quit yet. The point of making something effective on a certain date is that, well, it is effective on that date.

I find it unfair that someone can be fired without cause after giving two weeks notice.

In many states, someone can be fired without cause for no reason whatsoever.

The OP's husband was NOT fired. He quit.
