Yes, your employer can let you go immediately under the circumstances. There is no law prohibiting it. Your only protection may be if you have a union agreement, employment contract or company policy that requires full pay after notice. If not, legally, your employer's only obligation is to pay you for all time that you actually work up to the point at which your employment ends.
