      Well I mean it’s not like the government is going to give us anything actually useful.

  California is actually one of the states that require pay out of unused PTO. I believe MA, CO, and LA do as well, Im not sure of all of them. More than half don’t require it, in those states it’s company dependant.

    The really cool thing is that my national corporation has offices in NY and CA, and my team has members in both NY and CA. And we in NY don’t get paid out minimum unused vacation, while the people on my team in CA, who I work with every day, and who do the same job, in the same company, in the same country, do get paid out.

    Since I live in Massachusetts, I was curious to learn more. According to this site, you are correct about my home state, and quite a few others as well!

  Aside from this, at least in my state, if you opt to cash out your vacation days without taking them, they get taxed at a higher rate. I used to tell my teams, “If you take your vacation days instead cashing them out, you get more money after taxes and you don’t have to be here, so please just take your vacation time.”

    I’m pretty sure they just get withheld at a higher rate.

    It’s the same amount of money, and the tax rate is calculated on total income (with a bunch of bullshit to make it more complicated for minimal reasons), but getting paid for unused vacation days means that you got a much higher total amount of cash that week, and so bonus checks have more money taken out for taxes because projecting that week’s checks out to a year at $2000 instead of $1500 would put you in a different tax bracket.

    But at the end of the year it’s just your total income used to calculate the actual amount owed, so your number would be the same. (Ignoring that it’s progressive and you earned 40 more hours worth of money). So most of the time that difference in withholding is basically just a bigger refund or less owed.

  Deoends on the state whether or not accrued vacation must be paid out or not.

  Yup, I’ve never had an employer that pays out vacation. My dad did, and he also had a pension, so I know unicorns at least exist.

  Mine just rolls over up to 5 days, and that’s it. No payout or anything, though I think if you get laid off, it needs to be part of the severance package (but if you quit, you get nothing).

  We in Europe measure who has bigger vacations, while Americans discuss wether they should have any. What a wild continent.
