>US companies must pay out vacation time when employment terminates

Doesn't that depend on the state?

[paulddraper]

It does, but I've never seen any company that doesn't pay for accrued time.

[lolinder]

That's a choice the company makes in most states, though, meaning they can just as easily choose not to as choose unlimited vacation.

[mark-r]

As I understand it, the company merely needs to be consistent. Either they pay everybody for their accrued time, or they pay nobody.

[sethammons]

It does; didn't realize that but it makes sense
