A3: Yes, employers can ask an employee to leave immediately upon receiving their resignation. However, consider the potential impact on morale and workload and whether you will compensate the employee for the notice period.
You can be terminated at any time for any reason or no reason at all, and your employer can terminate you because you've said you want to work somewhere else.

In most cases, it's entirely up to the employer to determine whether they want the person who is resigning to complete their final two weeks or whether they'd prefer to let them go right away. The best way to avoid conflict is to include clear rules regarding resignations in your written company policy.
So yes, you can be fired after giving a two week notice. Just because you put in your notice, it doesn't provide immunity from violating company rules or policies. You can still be fired for tardiness or absences, unapproved actions or behavior on the job, dress code violations and so on.
