Garden Leave/Mandatory Work Question

Hello - VP here with a legal question. Just got a different job and was told my garden leave period. As part of my garden leave, was told I need to continue working for 45 days of it. Do I legally need to work that time frame or can I just quit? What retribution could I face?

Thanks
