Yes, and is not uncommon for companies to do so if the former employee had a non-compete or non-solicitation agreement and violated it.
The standard “two weeks' notice” is not required. (Although, unless you are leaving a hostile environment or unsafe working conditions, agreeing to a “notice” work period when quitting is usually better than burning bridges.)
How To Resign From A Job Finalise the terms of your new employment. Inform your manager before you let others know. Follow the resignation rules of your company. Submit a formal resignation letter in person. Help to transition your responsibilities. Prepare for an exit interview. Ask for references. Return company items.

You do not get severance if you quit. Nobody is automatically entitled to any severance legally, ever, unless you were hired under a contract such as a 1099 employee and you have severance written into your agreement. Standard W-2 employees usually do not get severance.
At-will employment has more than meaning. Under the law, an employee has the freedom to quit their job at any time. At the same time, the employer can fire an employee at any time for almost any non-discriminatory or non-retaliatory reason without incurring legal liability.
Sometimes, encouraging an employee to resign is best for the employee and the employer. However, if an employee believes he or she was forced to resign under duress, as a form of discrimination or retaliation, or due to other unlawful reasons, the employee may take legal action against the employer.
While not required by law in Florida, providing a termination letter or document to the employee is advisable to help protect the employer in case of legal action.
