‘Always take your PTO’: Employee quits while having 100 hours of unused PTO, expects to receive payout in last paycheck, only to get paid $1 per hour

For some unknown reason, there are employees who do not feel the need to use all of their PTO. They are fine with their PTO just sitting there, not being used for what it is meant to do – give people a break. I am a firm believer that PTO is there to be used, and I don't think I ever let a year pass by in a company without using all of the time off I am entitled to.

'Calling me on a day off? Cha-ching!': IT employee gets called on his day off, finagles a 10 minute call to be 6 hours of PTO with 150% Overtime
