You should contact HR and advise them that you have submitted your resignation (and its effective date) and explain that your boss has tried to refuse to accept it. That way there is no confusion and they don't claim to fire you later for failure to show up.
An employer cannot refuse to accept someone's resignation and they must follow certain procedures. When a member of staff resigns you must: get them to confirm their resignation in writing. tell them what their notice period is.
If the employer has not formally (in writing) accepted the resignation, the employee could argue that the resignation was never accepted, or that the resignation never happened. The employee could even argue that the resignation was actually a termination and then file for unemployment.
It is a common misconception that an employee's notice of resignation is not valid unless it has been "accepted" by the employer. The position at common law is that a notice, once validly given, is effective and can neither be "refused" by the employer or "withdrawn" by the employee, without the other's agreement.
You do not have to respond formally when someone tells you they're resigning. But it's good practice to respond in writing. Your response should include: that you've received the employee's resignation.
