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at common law is that a notice, once validly given, is effective and can neither be "refused" by the employer or "withdrawn" by the employee, without the other's agreement.
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.
