At a minimum in the US the company has to pay you for unused vacation days and send you your outstanding pay within 3 days. Also, if you give two weeks notice they might reasonably can you but pay you for the extra two weeks if they are afraid of looking punitive (a smaller company thing — big companies typically don’t worry about being sued for that kind of thing).

But not always; my kid resigned from AWS in November and they asked him to work the two weeks, even having him push to prod on the second to last day.

I've only ever encountered the unused vacation days and outstanding pay by end-of-week in California. It's certainly not true in several other states.

Unused 7 days of annual PTO. And there are companies with "unlimited" vacation which means no unused vacation.

Yeah unlimited vacation is nothing more than an excuse to avoid paying for unused vacation time.

Unlimited vacation is a marketing bulshit. It is unlimited only if you have really good relationship with your manager.

If I have unlimited vacation - I'll take 4 weeks every month!
