Summary

In New York, employers are not required to pay for unused PTO unless their company policy states otherwise. If your employer refuses to pay out your accumulated PTO after termination, you should review your companys policy, consult a local employment attorney, or file a claim with the New York Department of Labor. Filing a claim initiates an investigation, and if a violation is found, your employer may be required to pay the unpaid PTO. Consulting a local attorney can provide specific advice tailored to your situation.

I'm sorry to hear about your situation. In New York, the law doesn't require employers to pay for unused PTO, but if the company policy states they do, they must comply. You may consider:
- Reviewing your company's policy
- Consulting a local employment attorney
- Filing a claim with the NY Department of Labor if the policy isn't followed.
What does filing a claim do
Filing a claim with the New York Department of Labor would initiate an investigation into your concern. If they find your employer violated labor laws, they may require them to pay you your unpaid PTO. However, this process can take time.
Thank you
