If you give a two weeks notice at TR, do they let you finish out your two weeks or do they terminate immediately and pay you out the last two weeks or not pay the last two weeks at all?

It depends on your relationship with your manager – how soon do they want you out.
I know, right? Who would willingly live in Minnesota?
The state of Minnesota is at-will?
Well let me think. This company has a habit of disregarding rules and decency. So I say do what suits you and if that means you quit without giving 2 weeks notice or even 2 minutes notice, it's all good. It is an employment at will state unless you signed a contract and that is very unlikely.
The first place to always go to is your employment contract. See what it says about what notice period you agreed to, and what is required to terminate your employment from your end. If you don't have a written agreement, and that would be odd, then a rough rule of thumb is to give notice equivalent to your pay period cycles, eg if you are paid fortnightly, then give a fortnight's notice. Also, quite often you can negotiate a shorter notice period with your manager. If they are on to it, then it's not in their interest to put obstacles in your way.
Depends on the situation and your role with the company. If you are in a role that you need to transition your work to someone else then I would assume they would want you to stay for the notice period. If you are handling sensitive data or in a sales role, they may ask you to transition quick but wrap things up more quickly. If you are on a PIP or going to a competitor they very well may just tell you to wrap it up at that time. I don't think there is a standard, however you should always give 2 weeks notice as a matter of professionalism. I don't think TR will not pay you for the 2 weeks if you give it, haven't heard that happening.
