Re: Notice of intent to leave for a new position

Under Florida law, the unfortunate answer to all of these questions is No. Florida is an employment at-will state, which means that an employee or employer may end the relationship at any time for any reason, and under virtually every State's law in the country, no "severance" pay is required. Thus, while the employer could choose to pay an employee for time not actually worked (ie the 2nd week), there is no such legal obligation.
