Ragnar Danneskjold You know...

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...

They would probably ask them to leave and not pay them. You could collect

You'd think but a lot depends on position you're leaving and the position you're taking. And the current company's

I doubt an actual non-compete is part of your employment contract, I think it's

Why tell the current employer about the next job?

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

Give three weeks notice and that’s it. You don’t owe them any more information

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

I thought for-cause was the only disqualifier for unemployment.
