Accrued Paid Time Off

slefay

We offer two forms of Benefit or Paid Time Off. One is Vacation Time and one is Personal Time. We combined our Sick, Personal, a Birthday (that we had previously offered) into a total bank titled PTO. Employees accrue the PTO per pay period.

I have read two things recently, that state any accrued time (Vacation, Sick, Personal- etc.) must be paid out to the employee upon termination. Do any of you know if this is true. We have always paid out vacation time upon termination, but not sick. Any help would be great.

Most states that require vacation payout require all PTO to be paid out too. Some states require sick payout even if it is not included in PTO. Since this is a state by state issue, you might call your department of labor. They should be able to answer your question.
