No, you cannot give just the 2 weeks. The employee gave 30 day’s notice, if you told him that he did not need to serve out the notice period, you are required to pay him for the entirety of that notice period; unless the employee agrees to change his notice or accepts two weeks. You would want this to be documented, agreed upon and signed.
