You worked for a particularly vindictive bunch of bastards. Was your notice verbal or in writing? If it was written don't apply for unemployment benefits because they may challenge unemployment benefits four months from now. They may do it in such a way that the gov't will come after you for what they paid you.
You are not in a good position here. In the future you must send a copy of your resignation to your boss and personnel with a return receipt.
I agree. You have to be very careful in handling resignations. I think that you should include in your resignation letter that your resignation is immediate (the date of the letter), but that you can stay for up to two weeks as a courtesy.
But be prepared to be thrown out of the office immediately. Be sure to have all your personal property out of the office at the time that you resign either at home or in your car.
It is getting dangerous to quit a job with so many angry, vindictive, and entitled-minded companies out there.

That can almost be interpreted as you'll be doing that for free... which is not going to be the case.
Can people be vindictive? Absolutely. However, with resignations, one should also understand the big picture. You're leaving. Giving notice is a professional courtesy. You are providing it because it is the professional thing to do. As an employer, they have the option of accepting or not accepting that. And that decision is based on various factors - including the potential risks of having you stay.
In many organizations (or positions). Being walked out the door is standard policy as part of their risk management practices (IT and sales are two fairly common examples where you are likely going to be walked out the day you resign). But also in many cases, they will still give you a standard severance (a week or two's pay). And some states may even mandate something.
Personally - I actually would prefer being walked out. This gives me additional vacation time to use before my next job. I think the compilation here is if you are relying on that extra pay to make ends meet. And that's something one should not do.

The above information is from my paychex account.
The reason I gave my notice was because I do have a job. The other reason it was hostile no benefits, and it was getting really hard to work. Plus I called sick a day after giving notice I have Dr note. I should of just quit next friday. Either way I don't have to put them down as reference?
As other have indicated - it's pretty clear that they accepted your resignation. But simply decided to not keep you around.
As for reference. That really depends on you. If you don't include them, you may have to explain a gap in your resume. And if its discovered that you omitted information, that may bring up red flags....
I put in my 2 week notice last day to be 01/26/2018. I was terminated on 01/18/2018. Plus there was a breech of confidentiality. A coworker told me she knew because the HR assistant told her a day before. Please advice.
My advice is to get over it. They can fire you at any time. They don't have to accept your 2 weeks noticed. They can give you 1 week for whatever reason and they don't have to tell you the reason.
Have you talked to your direct supervisor or dept manager? they might give you a clue. Maybe is a company policy or your supervisor didn't want you for another week or they had your replacement ready and didn't need you for that extra week......it could be many reasons.
are you re-hireable? that should answer lots of questions.

My advice is to move on and forget it. Almost EVERY employer will let you go as soon as you put in your "two weeks notice", it is how business is done. First of all, they know you will be an unproductive employee, just marking time. Secondly, you will be a disruptive influence in the workplace, and affect office moral.
In fact, the times I have put in two weeks notice and they actually let me stay that long, I was shocked. I fully wanted and expected to go that day.
You are wasting time and effort on non productive thoughts. Get on with your life and move on.

Seriously. Employers take things soooo personally these days. I want to ask, "Did we sleep together???" It's the whole, "You're not leaving me; I'm dumping YOU" mentality. Grow up and get a life. The way businesses operate these days is definitely a reflection of where society is.
I would advise you to file for unemployment benefits. Although you intended to quit, you were terminated before your last day which should entitle you to meet with an unemployment benefits representative.
As for the lack of confidentiality, there really isn’t much that you can do about that unfortunately.
That happened to me in Texas in 2012 and my UI claim was denied. I had another job to go to so I didn't fight it.
I gave notice at 8am in writing on a Monday morning. I was marched out to my car by 10am. No severance, no payout of accrued vacation time (this is legal in Texas), no explanation.

That is how it is normally done. I have had a supervisor stand with me while I cleaned my personal effects out of my desk, make sure I wasn't taking anything I shouldn't, and then escort me to the door. One company I worked for even changed the locks and security codes when someone left, just to protect themselves.
Business is not like a friendship relationship, it is strictly business, and should be viewed as such.

Most important message. The employer doesn't care about you. They'll be polite as long as they can use You. You are exchanging your labor for pay, and you'll do well not to forget that. You have no friends at work. I don't care how often you go out on the weekends, meet each others' families and text on the phone. You'll find out how loyal your work "friends" are when their livelihoods are on the line.
