If you give Quintiles your 2 weeks notice, do they pay you for 2 weeks. Are you done that day?

Two weeks notice works like this: you can choose to work the next two weeks unless your manager says 'you are done today'. If you agree and say 'geez, ok, I guess I'm done today', that means you just quit today. If you say to your manager 'are you firing me?' then he/she will have to cough, cough and say 'well, no, but but....'. If they fire you unjustly, then there are consequences against them, so work your two weeks unless you agree otherwise.

What if they ask you to work the next 2 weeks -- marked by the official last day of work being 2 weeks away -- but take your computer and tell you not to go see docs?

They still have to pay you--unless they fire you. It's up to them to decide what materials/tools to give you to work. If they trust you, you work two weeks like normal. If they don't trust you, they take your computer. If they hate you, they fire you asap, but then you can claim unemployment and most likely sue them for firing without cause.

Boy you have no clue about how it works. Quintiles can let us go anytime they want just like we can quit anytime we want. Wake the f...k up and realize we/you have zero leverage unless we were unionized workers.
 






Quintiles can let us go anytime they want just like we can quit anytime we want.

This is true - its called 'at will' employment. you can quit anytime you want - without any reason - and the company can 'let you go' anytime they want - without notice or just cause.

This is at-will employment--you are correct (contract work is similar, the difference is in the details but just because you have a contract does not mean you can work, it means that the consequences of terminating the contract at different points of time or for different reasons).
With at-will employment, there are consequences if they fire you. Can you explain what happens if they fire you? No, because you did not read my last post and/or do not seem to understand how things work.
When you quit, you quit. And when you put in your two weeks, you can work those two weeks (or get paid for them if they don't want you to work--yes, they have to pay you, it's the law) unless you agree to otherwise--do you understand this you moron?
When you get fired, you get fired--you are done immediately. Depending on the reason, you may be able to claim unemployment (which you can't do if you quit). Again, do you understand this you freak?
Lastly, if you get laid off, you get laid off. Almost 100% of the time unemployment benefits are available for laid off workers. Last time for me to ask--do you understand this now?

Unions? Listen, just because you are in a union, it does not give you the right to work--it's just a different set of consequences and it depends upon the nature of the termination.
If a person is suspected of stealing company property, they will never be allowed to step foot on company property again--however, they still might get paid until the situation is involved.

Listen, this is getting too complex for many of you to understand. If you don't understand that it is better to wait a contract out and collect unemployment or severance than jump ship (unless you have an equal or better paying job lined up) then you will never understand that when you put in your two weeks, they have to pay you for those two weeks unless you agree to quit.
