It's not always about proving a point. When I get a a notice from an employee, I thank them, but then ask them to leave right away, and pay them for the full day. For one employee, it was because I already had issues about keeping them on task, as well as their office conduct (voicing displeasure, speaking out of turn) and did not need then polluting the remaining staff during thier two weeks. Very seldom is anyone as productive and helpful in their notice period than they were prior to giving thier notice... why pay for work youare often not getting?
Other times, it is a security issue... I do not need to give you any more access to customers in order for you to try to influence or move them to your next employer. I don't need to give you anymore access to bank records, access to programs, forms, bank created items (if you have not already made copies of for yourself), to give you the chance to do so and take with you to you next employer. Also, if you are not going to be here in a month, you do not need to be privy to most things either anymore that you will no longer have a need to be involved with.
And I also do not pay you for the time you are not here (except of course accrued owed vacation time). I don't believe in parting gifts when you make the choice to move on, except my honest thanks and appreciation of the work you did while here, and the sincere wish that your next opportunity takes you further in reaching your professional or life goals.

"Of course we do! And I have always followed bank policy, with HR's blessings." Jusy Jay I'm glad to hear that. It amazes me that you think it is a parting gift to be paid when someone gives you 2 weeks notice and YOU decide to let them go that day and only pay them till that day. Remember it is a courtesy to the employer when an employee gives any type of notice other than Today is my last day. Hi Anonymous, Are you still reading these posts? I hope through all them you have gotten some insight on what to do. As one poster said, check your handbook. Good Luck MEP

If 2 weeks notice is given and worked, you should be paid for it. If 2 weeks notice is given and the bank says we'd like you to leave today, you get paid thru today. If 2 weeks notice is given and you're asked to work only 1 week, 1 week is paid. There is no right to be paid for time that you don't work, even if the proper notice is given.
The normal standard, not just in banking but everywhere, is 2 weeks notice. I have seen some businesses that require 4 weeks, and also interviewed at one company that said if i were to be hired and leave within 3 years of the hire date, I would owe them money for what they invested training me (this was in the mid-80s, it was $7k if leaving in 12 months, $13K if 12-24 months, and $22k if 25-36 months). I politely declined the offer.
Anyway, back to topic, you get paid what you work. Also, if you are in the bonus pool and leave before bonuses are paid, you get no bonus.
