are all agencies legally obligated to pay out your unused vacation days when you leave?

Both responses above are half true. It varies by state. In many states it is required by law to pay out accrued vacation. It is not required to give paid vacation, so depends how your agency has it written in their agreements and based on the accrual terms. For example, if you accrue 1 day per month and quit in July, you have accrued 6. So even if you get 12 per year they are only legally required to pay you for 6. But in some states it is absolutely illegal for them not to pay it out.

Depends on your state and your company’s PTO policy. If you have “unlimited pto” you likely won’t get anything. If you have a mix of “personal / flex days” and vacation you’ll likely only get paid out for vacation days.

Publicis New York most definitely pays out vacation, talk to HR, they will confirm. Note that they only pay out what you've accrued based on years of service at X days per month (roll over from year prior does not count).

@Publicis1 you're right about vacation days while employed (use it or lose it with 5 rollover days to be used by March 31). When you *leave* the company, days you're owed from that calendar year are paid out. This is one of the reasons that finance is so crazy about doing timesheets. Imagine all the vacation days they're paying out when ppl leave because it's not reported accurately in Altair.

Yeah I was asking for accrued and in NY. Also in the same boat of vacation not rolling over to next year.

I am so beyond ready to leave my current job, but can’t yet, since bonuses are paid out in January. 😬

I gave notice to one of the partners at my small firm last week. It was amicable, but she told me to wait to tell the other partner until he returned from vacation.

Most problematically, he refuses to meet with me to discuss transitioning my cases over the next week. I am not sure what to do, and I am worried about ethical rules.
