I agree. Pay and move one.

I had an employee do that to me. He walked into my office in the middle of the day shook my hand and thanked me for everything (What ever that means) and walked out knowing he was messing me up pretty bad.

I ended up running a crew for 1 week until I found a replacement.

I mailed his final check. I will NEVER give him a good referance and will NEVER hire him back.

Walking out without notice, no matter how bad you think your job is, is burning the bridge.

lenndaddy is a bigger man than me because I would have never hired that kid back after he walked off the job. In my opinion you just sent him the message that its o.k. to do that. I would not be suprised if he does it to you again.
