my concern is they will terminate me immediately if I turn in my resignation letter of two weeks
In California, if you give a two-week notice, your employer can terminate you immediately; however, they must still pay you for the two weeks you intended to work. This is called "pay in lieu of notice."
Is there anything specific about your situation you would like more information on?
no, I'm in good standing, just checking all the boxes before I resign
It sounds like you've covered your bases. Here are a few additional points to consider:
- Severance Package: Check if your company offers a severance package for long-term employees.
- References: Secure a reference from your employer before you leave.
- Non-compete Clause: Ensure you are aware of any non-compete agreements you may have signed.
