Legal Question in Employment Law in California

My company was recently acquired and I will be leaving soon. The

company offers VACATION, FLOATING HOLIDAYS and PAID DAYS OFF. The PDO

policy lists specific reasons it can be used (bereavement, estate

settlement, family, medical primarily). As I understand if the policy

ties PDO to specific events then it is NOT payable at termination?

Through the California EDD website I've tried to read up on vacation

policy examples and also Floating Holiday policy. I've read that

these two items are treated the same and are paid out at termination?

Please clarify what is / is not paid at termination in California. thank you.

You are correct that vacation is paid at termination and restricted PDO or PTO is not. If the floating holidays are unrestricted they should be treated as vacation, but it would require a review of the company's policy to be sure.
