Under the laws of all states in this country it is illegal for an employer to reduce an employee's rate if pay to a minimum wage for hours worked due to an alleged failure to give a two week's notice of termination. In fact, there is no requirement legally speaking for an employee to give advance notice that he or she is quiting his or her employment position.
