We are never given a burden unless we have the capacity to overcome it. If a great problem is set before you, this merely indicates that you have the great inner strength to solve a great problem. There is never really anything to be discouraged about, because difficulties are opportunities for inner growth, and the greater the difficulty the greater the opportunity for growth…

That was quick. Thanks- The HR person would not approve my time-off-saying they needed a months notice- ha. I guess that's what you get after 4 years of growing a business.

I've never worked in Florida, so I don't know.

Also check with HR. If they aren't going to pay out if you haven't used it by Nov 30, take vacation between now and Nov 30. Might as well get paid not to work.

I am getting laid off Nov. 30 2009. I just found out. My company told me they had a use it, or lose it policy….But, I also EARN my PTO time throughout the year working 6 days a week and longer hours. I actually gain 6 hours of PTO evry month or pay period. What should I do? What is my first step. Please help.

SHRM offers really great books on law that are specific to your state. I would check there. I have a couple and they are wonderful resources. Hope that helps!

There is not a place in Canada where you could even dream getting away with that.

They are counted as wages.
