MT, TN, NY & Others - Do you have to pay accrued sick leave

I found the following statement in a list of questions about state laws: "There are also 15 states (MT and TN added in last two years) which do not allow for a use it or lose it policy for sick leave accrual. That is, should an employee have sick leave left at the time of termination, accrued but unused sick leave must be paid." I have searched, and also checked with other sources, and cannot find a list of states that require payment of accrued sick leave at the time of termination. Another very dependable source suggested that, to their knowledge, no state required the payment of sick leave at the time of termination. I would appreciate input from any of you who are from states that have this requirement.
