What Happens to My PTO If I Leave the Company?

At Leeds West Groups (LWG), PTO payout at separation is governed by state law and company policy.

Quick Answer
LWG does not pay out unused PTO upon termination, whether voluntary or involuntary, except where required by applicable state law.

How PTO Is Handled at Separation

In most states where LWG operates, employers are not required to pay out unused PTO upon termination if the policy clearly states otherwise.
In states where PTO payout is legally required, LWG will comply with all applicable laws.
PTO payout eligibility is based on:
- The state in which you work
- Applicable state or local law
- LWG’s written PTO policy

Important Things to Know

PTO payout rules are determined by law and policy, not by whether the separation was voluntary or involuntary.
If PTO payout is required by state law, it will be included in your final paycheck or issued in accordance with legal timing requirements.
If PTO payout is not required by law, unused PTO will not be paid out at separation.
