Does my employer has the right to not pay me in this case?

My employer gave me 2 weeks notice and my manager told me to think whether i want to come to work in these two weeks(hinting that they don't actually want me to) so i didn't work my notice and just left
Do they have the right to not pay me for two weeks I worked before my notice started? I got my payslip and they seems deducted lots of money, even more than two weeks.

    If you didn't provide them with a P45 from previous employment you will have been put on emergency tax and roughly 20% of your wage would be deducted for that.

    Had you taken more holiday than you had accrued? (Or, on the other hand, do they owe you holiday which they have not paid?)

    I think this might be one, but still won't make up for the whole deductions

    At present we are just guessing without knowing the deductions. Please contact your employer for an itemisation. Posters can then help.

    Thanks everyone, all I wanted is to know how the notice period work, I am not looking for answers here for why my employer not paid me.

    I just need to understand if I don't work the notice period does this mean the employer will deduct money equivalent to two weeks pay that I worked before the notice start date?

    Are the deductions for the days you failed to go to work?

    Any training deductions? Especially if you haven't been there long as I know if we leave within 6 months we have to pay a lot towards the training

    It may be that you've interpreted it as you don't need to come in during your notice period, and they've interpreted it as you don't need to give 2 weeks notice, leave now.
    Anything in writing with regards to you not showing up?
