A legal question about a 2 week notice?

Just a ball park answer for a ball park question. If you are working for a company and you put your two weeks notice, the day you do this they tell you don't worry about coming back. Is that fair, or legal. After you put in year at the company. This company over the year didn't give you one raise, didn't allow breaks or lunches. Then when you put a two weeks notice in the tell you not to come back. That is still to weeks pay, right???? Anyone in the legal field can you help me out?????
Answer:
They don't have to give you any notice. A lot of companies are so paranoid these days they usually escort a person from the premises after they fire them.
It's rotten, but it is legal.

As an attorney, I'm more interested in them not giving you lunches or breaks. Tell us more about this. What state are you in?
Your employer is under no obligation to keep you for the entire two weeks. In fact many employer let their people go to make sure no company secrets are smuggled out
Your wife and her colleagues should most def. get a lunch break in any state or province in North America.

Sadly, they can tell her not to come back. As other posters mentioned, this reduces workplace violence and the change that property will be removed from the workplace.

However, not to sound underhanded, but, ahem, getting vocal about the work break issue might be a nice bargaining chip if she wants the two weeks.
