Legal Question in Employment Law in Florida

Quit

We hired a receptionist that worked for about 10 days before becoming ''sick'' for 5 days. Now she says she starts another job tomorrow and is quitting. No notice but we held her job while she was ''sick''. Do we have to pay her for the 2 days we technically owe her?
