Legally, relatively little. Most repercussions revolve around how much this hurts the former employee's reputation and future employability.

The employer may choose to claim for damages caused by the employee breaching their contract, however this is difficult. The employer would have to prove that damages were caused by the employee suddenly leaving, for example, having to employ a temporary staff member at short notice for a higher cost.
