Reply to comment by ScottEATF in Unemployment form is forcing choice between "Voluntarily Quit" and "Leave of Absence" despite being fired? Won't this deny unemployment? by redditaccount624

I’ve been in the HR field for over 20 years. Scott, you are correct.

Wouldn’t it only be for two weeks of unemployment though, since there was already a notice involved? Or wouldn’t the company just have to pay it?

Couple people quit one of the companies I’ve worked for and they are escorted out after submitting their resignation immediately (of course after being able to pack up personal items). They still got paid the two weeks and any vacation time built up. Reason for being escorted out was access to a wide range of company information that could be sold to a competitor, or they might be going to work for one.

No - that really has no bearing on how much they get. If someone gives their notice & is asked to leave, companies aren’t obliged to pay for those 2 weeks, most do it because it’s the right thing to do. It really depends upon the companies policies.
