Also why? As the departing employee would have a very tenuous unemployment claim.

LOL. I worked at a call center that handled defaulted student loans. Most soul sucking three months of my life. Tried handing in a resignation twice only to be told "no, we're not accepting that." So, I called in one day and just failed to ever return. Only time in over twenty years I had ever done something like that.

I was laid off from one of my jobs(spotted computer boxes, back when they had retail stores) about 5 minutes before I had planned to quit. Had my letter of resignation typed up and in my shirt pocket, planned to talk to the store manager when he got in for the afternoon shift. I was kind of surprised when the boss called me in, my first thought was that someone told him I was planning on quitting.
Bit of a surprise when he told me that I was the first of 10 people he was laying off. Think I mighta made him soil himself lightly when I burst out laughing, I think he thought I was going postal. I took the envelope out of my pocket and dropped it in his paper shredder, saying something to the tune of "guess I don't need this anymore"

Hey purple. Sorry I'm coming into this so late.
My wife did the same thing as your ops person at one time. This person was well trained but leaving town. (As it turns out, they DID come back and work the location again.)
Big difference is that, even had they not asked "What do you mean?" my wife was ready with an explanation of why the employee would be carried on the books as long as possible and that an extended/indefinite LoA was preferable for everyone to a resignation.

some things are universal- it's actually a human rights issue to prevent someone leaving a job (it came up because historically, a football player's contract never expired, and so a club could prevent a player leaving. A player sued because he was sick and tired of being kept at the club, and the Bosman ruling said it was a human rights violation to keep a footballer at a club for good.
besides, it sounds like OP gave the notice spelt out in their contract- the company can do nothing, since a clause allowing a company t reject notice would be unenforceable.
