Many states actually don't require to pay out PTO, but it is wide industry practice and it is the law in California. If they aren't paying PTO, even if legal, that's ridiculous, because as others have said, PTO is interpreted as a form of compensation which could be interpreted as your employer not paying you.

Yep, it’s not like that PTO expense isnt an easy thing to calculate into your companies finances.

This is clearly a business trying to extend their runway ever so slightly at the expense of the employee.
