Verbal Resignation

Good afternoon,

We have an employee who has verbally told a partner and HR they have taken another position but will not give their last day. They have been employed here for five years.
What is any would be the result of us asking that today be their last day in the office? What legally are we required to pay the employee if they are asked to leave today?
If you require more details or have questions, please call 250.487.7035 – thank you.

Kind regards,
Lorraine

In BC, “If an employee does give notice that they quit their job, the employer can choose to terminate them sooner as long as they pay an amount that equals the remaining notice given by the employee or the amount they would have to pay the employee if they had decided to terminate them – whichever is less.” – https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/employment-business/employment-standards-advice/employment-standards/termination/quit-fired#quitting
