Laid off on the 12th. Had the normal two weeks of PTO replenish as of the first of the year. I was told my balance would be paid out. Checked account today and the balance was recalculated and now it's zero. I'm assuming that I won't get that paid out now? Or does that mean they've already taken it out because I'm getting my last payroll check next week?

SUE THEM - get a lawyer. Fight severance.
That’s correct - they pay out “accrued vacation” which you have to work to accrue, even though you could theoretically take both 2 weeks at the beginning of the year as an employee, you don’t accrue those 2 weeks before Jan 1. You accrue something like several hours per week based on how long you’ve been there
@a4 except it’s not really because you get all your days to use on Jan 1. It’s shady because the company is no longer paying it out like that, instead they do some calculation based on how many days you theoretically could have used by the time you are laid off.
PTO is now accrued. Like 2.1 hrs every period for yearly 2 weeks PTO
