State Lawmakers Looking At ‘Use It Or Lose It’ Policies

In Harrisburg, lawmakers are considering legislation aimed at curbing “Use it or Lose it” paid-time off policies that restrict employees from carrying over or cashing out earned time off if not used within a specific timeframe. The proposed bill, which by the way is similar to laws in California, would classify earned vacation time as wages. It would mean employees would receive compensation even upon termination.
