[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here, thanks everyone. I will ask to see the form and see what happens. My direct manager seems to think it would be "rocking the boat"[/quote]

Agree with the other PPs. Still ask. Also, my company has various caps to PTO payout (based on levels in the org). We state the payout limit in bold in the handbook. No one remembers by the time they leave he organization so we frequently have to provide the employee with proof. It's not a big deal for HR to produce it. And most likely your severance agreement will say you are releasing all claims so you will lose the right to claim this money later. I know other mentioned this in your prior thread but, based on your age and the number of people being laid off, you have 45 days to sign the agreement and then 7 days to change your mind.[/quote]

OP here and thank-you. So I know this may sound simple minded, but I am still somewhat shell shocked by all of this. If I have 45 days to sign the agreement, does that mean they would not start paying my severance until I sign the agreement?[/quote]

Yes. You have to agree to the terms before they release the severance. I don't think you'll need the 45 days but you should take a few days to read the document, consult with an attorney (if you feel the need), and also take the time to run down the PTO issue.[/quote]

Thanks, I appreciate your reply. I sent the email today and have not received a reply yet.....[/quote]

You're welcome! Keep us updated - happy to help where I can. And don't hesitate to reach out to the MD Wage and Hour office to ask for clarification on the payment of accrued leave.[/quote]
