Am I entitled to pay for unused leave?

[jptowns]

I voluntarily left an organization giving them a two week notice. I was asked to leave after the first week. I agreed to do so thinking I would get paid for the 50 hours of personal time off (PTO) time I had accrued.
I did not get paid for the PTO time, but it did show up on my last pay stub as unused.
Am I entitled to pay for that unused time?

Probably. Your exact rights depend on the state and the terms of PTO in your ex-company.
