What is the name of your state? Utah
I have just quit my job after 3 years. 2 years ago, a friend of mine quit and got paid in full for his PTO hours accumulated. The company policy is half in the Employee Handbook, and has been unchanged for (what I'm told) 5 years. Despite company policy, he was paid out in full. I was paid out in half in accordance with policy.
I have already contacted them on this, but in case it gets ugly, does anyone know if the preferential treatment of one employee in this manner would be actionable? Anyone know where I might research such a thing? (Sadly, I'm a programmer, not a lawyer, so law research is a mystery, but I'm happy to read up if pointed in the right direction.)
