They can't withhold his wages. As for notice - if he doesn't work the agreed notice that could potentially (with about the same chance of my scoring Penelope Cruz) sue. If his contracts says one week and they are insisting on two he should contact NERA.

Is there no way you can ask some one what the company notice period is for people in your situation? Would you have an issue working two weeks? Most new employers expect people to have a notice period they have to work.
