Not related to being on the bench, but gave 2 weeks notice,and the firm made that my last day and paid me for the two weeks.

D1 - is the firm obligated to pay you for 2 weeks or was that just a goodwill? I don’t see anything on my employment contract

Hasn’t happened to me but I have heard of it happening. I actually put in a one week notice just to be safe

Everybody is right so far.
- It happens.
- What D1 said also happens. It doesn’t help the firm on the long run if they walk everybody out immediately... people would stop putting in notice.
- Does your new gig start in exactly 2 weeks? If not, no rush.

Accenture is an at will employer, which also means the 2 week notice technically isn’t required — it’s just a courtesy. And if you’re currently on a project and like your team, you’d preferably give them more than 2 weeks notice

Why wouldn’t you just want the two weeks of paid downtime before going into a new role?

Put in notice in hopes I’d be asked to leave immediately but alas helped onboard onto the project and then been chilling on the bench 🤷‍♀️

I got walked out of d immediately. Was leaving for competitor (obliviously) but didn’t tell anyone.
