An employee at our company gave her 2 week resignation. Our handbook states that you must fulfill the full 2?

weeks in order to receive any accrued vacation time. The company is trying to get her to not fulfill the 2 weeks so they do not have to pay the accrued vacation. Can they change her shift?? What if she just doesn't show up?

weeks in order to receive any accrued vacation time. The company is trying to get her to not fulfill the 2 weeks so they do not have to pay her the accrued vacation. Can they change her shift so it is difficult hours for her to work?? What if she just doesn't show up?

Most handbooks do say that an employee needs to give a two weeks notice and fulfill the weeks because that gives the company time to replace the employee and make any needed changes. The company has every right to change her shift. It sounds like she is hourly and I'm sure during her interview she wasn't guaranteed any set hours for a week. From the sound of it, it seems like the company could care less if your friend leaves so it sounds like this company and the people she works with wouldn't be a good reliable reference anyways. I think she should just cut her losses and find a company that will appreciate her time and work.

Let's keep in mind that she quit.

If she is employed in an "at will" state and not a member of a union and not covered by a contract, they can do anything they want -- including firing her today...so be very careful about demanding anything "from the handbook."

Handbooks are guidelines, not the law. Employers only have to follow the law...most of the time that means they can escort an employee out the door and lock it as soon as she resigns.

(On the other hand, if she doesn't care about burning bridges, she is well within her rights to quit immediately, which cancels her 2 week notice. She shouldn' t just not show up. That is very tacky and unprofessional)
