Legal Question in Employment Law in Georgia

If I have an employee turn in a notice (or retirement notice) and I decide instead of letting them work it out that I just let them go, am I liable to pay them unemployment insurance?

If an employee is fired through no fault of their own, then they very possible could successfully apply for unemployment.
