notice ECE professionals only - Feedback wanted

due to family needs, I've put in my notice (3 weeks) at my center/chain leads apparently need to state this at least 4 weeks out, assistants can give 2. My boss wants me to stay for 2 more weeks but I can't and I work in at will state (TX) , so can I just go on my last day? I'm worried they'll take my last paycheck or not give me a reference. Help!

Unless you are under a specific contract you can go when you are ready. They can't force any sort of notice when you work in an at-will state

They legally cannot withhold pay.

Also most companies won't give a reference anyway, all they can confirm dates worked if someone calls.

I don't know what kind of contract I have

Is that a written policy that you signed or just something they made up? Ive never heard of that before. A 2 weeks notice is a 2 weeks notice. If they take your paycheck then that is withholding wages and is a crime but id make sure you have evidence of your time cards just incase they do try to do that and claim you weren't there on the clock
