No, if I show up and do nothing all day then they can't do anything to me. That wouldn't solve anything though and be worse than actually trying to be productive. But if I don't show up and start working at another company then there would be consequences.
Number one it would be extremely unprofessional and reflect badly on me. This is a small market and word would definitely get out. My new employer wouldn't be happy about it either and might even fire me. I would essentially be breaking both my old contract and my new one, since the both contracts specify that I can not be employed at other places while working there.
Besides all that, I have a great relationship with my coworkers and boss and wouldn't have it in me to do any of these things.
And I don't see why they couldn't sue me for small claims. I would still be on the payroll and in breach of contract so they could show damages. But I am not a lawyer so I don't really know. If the situation was reversed, I showed up and did the work and they didn't pay me, then I could definitely sue them.
Mostly though I'm not a huge ******* (imo) so I would never do this.
