You can absolutely fire someone after they quit if notice is in your contract. Employee gives notice, doesn’t show up for two weeks, and is fired with cause.
I don’t know where you all work. But over here it is standard even for ‘unqualified’ work to have at least 1 month notice. For both sides. This gives employers and employees some time to find something new.
I’m speaking for the United States, minus Montana (if I recall correctly).
Neither employers nor employees are required to give notice. However, it is standard practice that employers do not give notice and employees do (usually two weeks).
I am obviously not a lawyer, but I’m pretty sure you can sue for breach of contract if it was in the employment contract and it causes actual damages. This random site agrees with me: https://www.mannlawyers.com/resources/can-my-employer-sue-me-for-quitting/

I have never heard of notice being in a contract. I’m sure it’s a thing, but it’s very uncommon.

Well, that just looks like an unfair system. Both sides need the same mandatory notice.
Oh, the vast majority of us agree with you. Yet here we are.
