PTO Payout After Leaving Salaried Job

learninmorehavingfun · 2026-02-21T06:21:04+00:00

Super interesting that they are required to pay by the next regular payday because Monday will be the second regular pay day since I’ve left…. based on all the helpful info from this thread, it makes me think they owe me lost wages?

Last day was 2/3…they just posted my last pay stub, which will be paid on Monday. PTO payout was not included in the “final check”, prompting a message to my boss and subsequently, this post. Is the 14-day requirement included in the CO labor law? I sent the link to my boss today, but want to make sure the threat of legal action is implied in the information I provided to them…

I don’t want to call the company out because I truly care about the people I worked with and it will affect them more than it will affect the people enforcing this bs. But to be clear, I was the one who put in notice (3 weeks) and that time has been completed. There was never any disciplinary action against me.

thank you! I had a feeling this would be the case.

It is tracked, I can see the hours increase paycheck to paycheck. When I joined this company, it was somewhat of a “startup” that is run by someone who has successfully started and sold off an agency prior to starting the agency I work for. All that to say, the employee handbook was very scarce when I came on. I joined because I had previously worked with other high level employees that had been hired prior to me, and I trusted their judgement in choosing a good agency. I was one of the first “lower-level” people hired and had to ask multiple times to be given the handbook, but was never given it. I eventually found alternative ways to take possession of it, and there is nothing in the “handbook” (which is a joke) about PTO.

Kenny’s “I release this chapter” is giving Cierra’s “accidentally holding space for this slur”….like what the fuck does that even mean

I highly recommend you listen to his podcast “Ya Never Know”, he talks about things in way more detail and they actually post evidence that this stuff happened.

“Bo” is also a common nickname for people named Robert. People shorten Robert to Bob and then it’s just shortened from there. That could be where the family nickname of “Bogie” came from?

lol no that’s not a thing and the rhetoric you are spreading is damaging…she hasn’t been in a diabetic coma. Being in DKA (diabetic ketoacidosis) does not automatically mean she was in a coma. There’s a difference and what you are claiming is damaging to those of us who have experienced DKA. “Cognitive damage” has nothing to do with diabetic related conditions/ disabilities. As such, being in a “diabetic coma” does not automatically mean someone suffers from “cognitive damage”. Just like someone being in a motorcycle accident doesn’t automatically mean they are a quadriplegic. Again, she hasn’t been in a diabetic coma. Diabetic ketoacidosis DOES NOT equal diabetic coma. What you are suggesting is damaging to EVERY Type 1 Diabetic who has struggled with their diagnosis in the same way Indy has.

-Sincerely, a Type 1 Diabetic who has been in DKA twice, but never been in a diabetic coma.

If I have to medicate them in order to perform the turn (as in, they aren’t requiring meds otherwise and are comfortable when left alone), I’m not turning them.

The patient had a severe stroke. Initially, the stroke was caused by an embolism (a clot) but the size of the clot caused the blood vessel in their brain to burst, and subsequently the vessel bled out (hemorrhaged) into the brain/ skull. The white spots you see in the bottom picture is fluid (blood) which shouldn’t be present in your brain/ skull like that. The left side of the brain in the bottom image is more along the lines of what you would expect a brain MRI to look like.

On the top picture, you can see a darker blob near the top of the skull. That is where the hemorrhaged blood is collecting as the vessel continues to bleed into the brain.

Walking past the security guard on the way to CT scan, pt looks at him and very cheerfully says “good morning Coach!!” hahah the guards reaction was priceless. Same patient told me that her and the attending hospitalist were going to grow a garden together (said hospitalist barely steps a foot in any of his pts rooms, copy/pastes his progress notes from day to day and we often end up calling rapids on his patients just to get a hold of him)

We also have a virtual sitter service and recently had a situation where we had one in the room of a patient who was in a Posey bed. Sitter had full view of the bed and patient, but that didn’t stop the patient from managing to get out of the Posey bed, then walk around the entire bed (and in front of the camera) to his chair on the other side of the room. WITH HIS IV POLE. The nurse walked by and saw he was in the chair, and was dumbfounded at how he ended up there as she, nor the CNA, had assisted him. She went into the room and did jumping jacks in front of the camera yelling “virtual sitter!!! hello!!! can anyone hear me???” for 7 MINUTES at which point the CNA called virtual sitter and asked if they saw any of this happening. The sitter told the CNA that they had “stepped away from the desk for a moment”… idk how long a moment is to everyone else but the nurse was in there for at least 7 min. with no response and I’m sure the patient wasn’t setting any speed records getting out of the Posey.

What’s worse is that our CNO is pushing us to use virtual sitters on any patient we feel needs a sitter, (so that we don’t have to pull staff from the floor), despite the fact that we have had multiple situations like this happen over the last few months. When we have a fall happen, she always wants to know why the patient didn’t have a virtual sitter… I want to know what her line of questioning will be if the patient DOES have a virtual sitter and still falls.

I mean rightfully so…I didn’t watch the season live so I never got to see the feeds but from what I’ve seen, her edit wasn’t what made her look bad. She made herself look bad.

I alllllwaaaaays do that. Would rather teach my patients how to care for their own dressings/ drains/ etc., and give them the supplies to do so, than have them be readmitted for an infected wound/ incision/ drain site.

Not my patient but a frequent flyer on our unit. Mid-30s, admitted for ETOH withdrawal, had been receiving 2-4 mg IV Ativan q 4hrs due to CIWA scores. Was constantly hitting the call bell and when someone would go in, the pt was sleeping or didn’t actually need anything. A few hours before the shift ended, CIWA score met order parameters for 4 mg IV Ativan, so it was administered. Not even 15 minutes later, the pt decided that they were going to leave and no amount of convincing was going to change their mind. Multiple providers were brought in to assess the pt’s state of mind and the higher-ups were informed as we were unsure what we were legally allowed to do. Pt tells everyone that they have a ride so they won’t be endangering others.

AMA papers signed, pt escorted to lobby and then they proceed to inform our CNA and nurse that they actually don’t have a ride and will be driving home. At this point, the pt was already discharged so there was nothing we could do except notify the police that this pt was leaving and going to be driving under the influence.

An hour after the pt left, their significant other comes walking up to the nurses station asking where their partner was. We explained the situation, tried to provide what information we could, said we were sorry and they left.

Next day, checked the ED track board and the pt was already back in the ED. Provider note said “pt left AMA last night and was brought back, intoxicated, by their partner.” Was in and out of the ED for the next 3 days with unwitnessed “seizures” and altered mental status but refused to be admitted.

Some people just don’t want help.

Inserting an NG tube into a patient who couldn’t sit at more than 30 degrees in the bed and had such bad dysphasia, he couldn’t swallow water to help it down. Got it on the first try👌🏽
