Legal Question in Employment Law in Florida

Hello,

My job is being outsourced and I will be terminated by November 11. I have 10 PTO days remaining and I have put in a request to use the PTO prior to my termination date. A colleague told me that if my employer does not approve my PTO and I have PTO on the books when terminated - my employer is required to pay the remaining PTO hours because I requested to use the PTO prior to being terminated. Is this true? I think my colleague is mistaken as it is indicated in our severance and retention bonus contract - only in certain states where it is required by law will they pay any remaining PTO.

Would have to look at the contracts you are referring to but typically if employer says you don't get earnred PTO upon termination, then you won't get it. If they don't say in handbooks, etc, then typically you can get it.
