Good morning everyone!! Does anyone know of any potential consequences for an employer if a letter of resignation is not accepted?

Actually, I don't see how you can do the second unless the employee is under contract so I will assume the first situation. You are really talking semantics here so I don't see how it can make any difference. I think we need more details to be any help here.
If there is an employment contract, then the employee and employer are likely governed by the terms of the contract, that should cover conditions for separation. If it is an At-Will employment situation, the employer cannot prohibit the employee from resigning, but has flexibility regarding the conditions of the resignation. Example, the employer can make the separation date sooner than the employee's specified date, but cannot extend the employment beyond the specified date, as in requiring the person to continue to report to work. There may be some technical considerations, such as payroll runs, that do not allow for processing point in time, that may result in a post dated effective date.
Could we have some details please?
