PTO payout is state by state and I’d bet pretty unusual, but California and Massachusetts have it.

- sgk284 9y ago27 states + D.C. treat earned PTO as wages that must be paid out (one or two states do allow employment agreements to opt-out of this).[1] Even when working in non-required states, I've always had an employer pay out (e.g. at Microsoft in WA).

- cwilkes 9y agoI’ve always had employers pay out PTO in WA except for my last one, but they did give me some severance ... but I know they don’t pay it out as a rule. I’ve heard that in the retail sector it is somewhat common not to pay out. That to me is akin to stealing: the employee earned those hours and the employer is refusing to pay.
