Let's say you live in Utah, give 3 weeks notice on leaving the company, but you are going to a competitor...

I assume they would terminate you right then, and pay you through your notice date.

OR, they could terminate you, not pay you out. At that point you could collect unemployment. Correct?

Any other likely scenarios?

Not me, BTW...

If you won't tell where you're going it's obvious that you're going to a different company (or starting your own). All

You would not be able to collect unemployment. They would contest.

Entering into an employment agreement with a competitor is ‘cause’
