In CA at least, not being able to cash out non-expired, accruable PTO is wage theft.

- tharkun__ 5y agoI don't know about you but I don't want my PTO to even be able to be cashed out. I'd rather have 30 days of PTO required by law and the company gets dinged for not letting me take it. The US seems to have a culture of overwork where even being able to just get the PTO paid out feeds that's cycle. Work 80 hour weeks or you are shunned by the co-workers. Want to take some PTO? Nah, just get it paid out man! We have to break that cycle.
- jdavis703 5y agoI’d rather take the cash today and stash it for savings tomorrow. I’m highly skeptical SWE will pay well when I’m ready to retire in 29 years.
- varelse 5y agoWhich is why some companies pivoted to "unlimited time off" so you never accrue any official PTO and it's up to you to make sure you take any time off whatsoever. And just like open office floor plans, they portrayed this cost saving measure as a perk. Once you understand how this game works, you know to follow the money first.
