if you give an employer two weeks notice and they don't want you to work the remaining two weeks, are they required to pay you for the full two weeks?

Yes they are. If they don't want you to work the two weeks then they would have to give you the two weeks severance pay. This is only if you are a full time employee. If you only work a couple days a week, then you can't expect them to pay you for the full two weeks.

You're a little short on information for anyone to be able to answer your question.  
 
Maybe you should contact the Manitoba Labour Board and after you answer some of their questions they should be able to advise you.

Where did you get that information? Last I had to pay out in lieu of was work less than 1 year only 1 week notice. So if you gave 2 weeks and worked 1 your employer could just let you go. If over 1 year then 2 weeks was needed to pay out.

been for this company for over 1 year and I work full time hours. I also plan to discuss with the labour board.

Here is the info you need:  
 
https://www.gov.mb.ca/labour/standards/docterminate-employment-after-apr-30-07factsheet.html#q40

if you have worked there for 1 year or more.  
 
First 30 days you can quit or they can fire you with no notice. After 30 days to one day less a year it is 1 week''s notice that you would need to give or they would have to pay.  
 
 
I think if you click on the link that "CurlySister" gave you, you would get all your answers.  
 
When in doubt, phone employment standards and ask.

If you are the one quitting, then you are obligated to work the two weeks. If you do not work the two weeks they are not obligated to pay you. (Unless they owe you vacation time, at which time you are owed that money).

Even if your fired

.. said "Even if your fired "

Did you read the link? If an employer can show just cause for termination, they don't have to pay you.

So there seems to be a little confusion so here are the easy facts.  
- You get paid for what ever hours you worked prior to leaving.  
- You can quit with no notice, however, you will only get paid for the hours you worked.  
- The company is required to pay you vacation pay.  
- If your leaving without giving any notice, please be aware that in the future if anyone calls for a reference, this may be discussed.  
- It is always better to give notice, than just quit.  
- If you give notice, but do not show up for work, you will not get paid.  
- If you give two weeks notice, but are told to leave immediately, you are owed for the hours you were scheduled.  
- If no schedule was made up, you technically did not have hours, so you would not receive money, even though you gave notice.  
 
If you are fired, the company needs to either pay you out or they can make you work the time. The length of time required is dependent on how long you worked for.  
 
If you are fired, and you are required to work out your time, you don''t have to show up for your shifts, however, you would then not be paid for those shifts. You would only be paid for the hours you worked.  
 
As mentioned above, just cause makes a difference. You can be fired and simply told to leave.  
 
If you have questions, call the MB labour standards.  
They will give the facts for your situation.
