California is an "at will" employment state. This means either party can end employment at anytime. A company can not discriminate or apply the rules unfairly on deciding to terminate an employee. This is the area most lawsuits focus on, when there is a violation of the standards.
In your case they do not have to pay you for time not worked. That would be a severance pay issue. However if the company does not have a policy to immediately terminate any employee that gives notice and only does this at various times you might have a retaliation termination and that is in violation of the law. I do not think you would ever gain access to the company records to find out what policy is in this situation.
Sounds like a good company to not to work for if this is the reaction. In the long run, might be good it happened this way. |

Don't even bother fighting it. They can do what they want. I know, " I've been there "... |

Wow. you gave a 2 week notice and they said don't bother just finish today and be done??????? that is suckey. what a** holes. Most places when you get hired make you sign the paper that says you may be terminated at anytime for any reason no questions. They probably did too, just to save their bitts for when they do this. |

Actually...even if you were full time, they wouldn't have to keep you on for the two weeks, nor would they have to pay you if they sent you home...the only reason that one give two weeks notice is as a courtesy...usually to clean up loose ends, and or train a replacement. |

Actually it is not that usual for an employer to say you can leave now instead of two weeks. It is thought to be protection for the employer to prevent employees from removing documents, screwing up computers and talking to other employees about why you are leaving and no they do not have to pay you for the two weeks if you are full time. |

lol, you know if you were fulltime they would have to pay you? For not working????
Completely untrue.
No they do not have to pay you for time you don't work, whether you give them notice or not. You are the one quitting, whether you give notice or not it doesn't matter, the moment you stop working you also stop getting paid. |

It seems like employers can pretty much do whatever they please nowadays. Employees don't seem to have any rights at all. Unfortunately, yes, I think your employer has a right to ask you to leave sooner rather than later. They must have been planning to get rid of you anyway. . .you just beat 'em to the punch. |
