If the employee is not available for work for specific reasons, including sickness, then they are still entitled to full pay for their statutory notice period as this is protected. They will not receive any pay for their statutory notice period to resign unless their entitlement to SSP is ongoing.
It's common courtesy to give at least one week's notice to your employer if you've been with your company for more than one month but less than two years. Give at least a two weeks' notice if you've been with your company for more than two years.
If you've been fired or voluntarily quit your job, your former employer may have to pay you sooner than the next regular pay period. California: Final check must be given immediately if you were fired, and within 72 hours you quit (or immediately if you have given more than 72 hours' notice)
Don't do anything until you've received the offer in writing from your new employer. A verbal offer of employment means nothing until it has been confirmed in writing so always wait to receive the written contract before you approach your current employer.
If you want to leave your job you'll normally need to give your employer some warning. This is called your notice period. Look in your contract to see the notice you need to give. If you've been in your job for less than a month, you don't have to give notice unless the contract or terms and conditions require you to.
You are entitled to be paid your wages for the hours you worked up to the date you quit your job. In general, it is unlawful to withhold pay (for example holiday pay) from workers who do not work their full notice unless a clear written term in the employment contract allows the employer to make deductions from pay.
Your job won't end until the end of your notice period, even though you don't have to come to work. This will increase your redundancy pay if it means you'll have completed another full year with your employer. This means you shouldn't start another job in your notice period unless your existing employer agrees.
If your job is causing you so much stress that it's starting to affect your health, then it may be time to consider quitting or perhaps even asking for fewer responsibilities. You may need to take a simple break from work if stress is impacting you from outside your job.

Your employer may try to convince you to stay with offers of a higher salary, a promotion, extra vacation days, a flexible schedule, that fancy corner office—and so on. However, the consensus among employment experts is that agreeing to stay on board after you've given notice of leave is not usually advisable.
