State Laws on paying ETO upon term.

JM in ATL

I am looking for State Laws on paying ETO upon termination. We are private sector employers. I am specifically looking for Ohio, Michigan, Florida, Texas and New York.

I know most states don't require it, but I would like the information in writing and I am not having much luck from the DOL websites.

Thank you.

OK, pretty much same question as the PTO in WI.

Either post for an answer is fine with me.

Every state you mention, except Florida, has a state code that requires accrued ETO to be paid upon termination. While Florida seems to be silent on that issue, it's my understanding that FL views ETO/PTO more like wages and this may obligate you to pay the accruied time. Some legal guidance will likely help you sort through this question.

Thank you for your quick reply. Do you know where I can find that information in writing?

You know how some people are, they won't beleive it until they see it.

I have my own list of 12-15 states that I maintain as a personal resource. My suggestion is to go to the respective State DOL sites and gather what you need. Option 2 might be to use whatver HR resource you currently subscribe to: Aspen, BLR, CCH, etc......
