 Spinoff to Legal Help..work related question 
If you have unused sick/personal/vacation time and you leave the company do they have to pay you out?

 Re: Spinoff to Legal Help..work related question 
I think so as long as you have accrued that time.  i've been paid for time that I accrued but did not use when I left my old jobs.
  ETA: i think it's for personal and vacation time not sick days

 Re: Spinoff to Legal Help..work related question 
well at my old job it was all lumped together.  I am owed over 40 hours of time and they are refusing to pay me out.

 Re: Spinoff to Legal Help..work related question 
I don't believe they are required by NY law to pay you.  In some states (eg. California), you are required to pay them for vacation & personal days that are already earned.
  eta. My company (NY) only pays for unused earned vacation time, not sick or personal.

 Re: Spinoff to Legal Help..work related question 
I think that in NY the norm is to pay out accrued vacation time but not sick time. 
  However, I believe that COMP time must be paid out and any overtime that was accrued in the form of personal time off has to be paid out.

 Re: Spinoff to Legal Help..work related question 
It's all about the accrual.  In some cases, you would have to pay THEM for using Unaccrued time.

 Re: Spinoff to Legal Help..work related question 
Because paid time off  is a benefit and not a right 
  The company's policy is the only thing that can decide if you take anything with you...
