Leaving job etiquette

Switching jobs and my current job requires a 30 day notice. I have 4 or 5 days of PTO saved up. They will cut me a check for it if I don't use it.
Would it look bad to just take my last 4 or 5 days of work off and use the PTO for it?

Congratulations! I'm leaving my current employer as well.
Waiting on one more payout before I drop notice.
I have nothing to offer in this thread except that I am excited to be leaving!

There is probably a policy against this. Best way to handle it is to simply ask it if would cause any hardship etc.

Collect the PTO in a check and worked full days until the last day helping with the transition. People who don't do this really set back the company as a whole.

I've always given my two weeks. One job let me stay, the other let me leave the next day but paid me for the full two weeks.

30 day notice? Wtf!?!
Posted on 8/6/15 at 10:32 am to PTBob
Depends on how you earned the PTO. If it was given as a gift, they don't have to pay you. If it was accrued, in LA, they have to pay you. Key word is accrued

I know. I'm basically mentally checked out at this point but I am here and doing my job appropriately. It's a similar feeling to "senioritis".
Just get me the f outta here lol.

Would they give you the common courtesy if they decided to lay you off or get rid of you?
I don't know why the "two week notice" is so ingrained.

What I have usually done is work completely through to the end, then make my start date whenever my PTO time ran out- in this case 1 week. Can you make you start date a week after your old job ends? In the meantime go on vacation or do something fun.

You are 100% right. Unfortunately, in the handbook, if I don't give 30 days notice then I get zero payout for my PTO. Not sure of the legality of that, but it's in the handbook and I don't feel like causing a huge deal.

At least in my profession it's important not to burn bridges. Never know when you might need them for something. Not giving common courtesy tends to come back and bite people.

Last job I quit I lit my trashcan on fire and unplugged the copier before I left for the day.

Can't wait for the day I'm able to say the same thing.Posted on 8/6/15 at 10:41 am to PTBob
Do it by the book and get your PTO check.
This gives them time to find at least a temporary replacement to handle your caseload and not lose profitability.
That helps keep the bridges from being burned.

Two weeks is common courtesy. They can't enforce a 30 day notice other than any "bonus" type payments you would receive.
I know my current employer requires a certain time period after bonuses are paid. If you leave before then, you are legally required to pay them back. Good thing is, most people leave to work for the customer and they don't want to make you pay back your bonus if they know you are in charge of choosing them for any work. So I've never heard of it being enforced.

I had a friend who quit his job in a "take this job and shove it manner" due to issues with his manager. He started with a new company and 8 months later his former company bought his new company and put him under the former manager.
He lasted one year and told me it was pure hell.

I am not sure of the legality of not getting full pay for any benefits earned. There are a lot of things HR people try to get away with by putting this or that into their "handbooks". Handbooks are not legally binding if they go counter to La. labor laws. And, I agree, I am as loyal to my company as they would be to me if the situation was reversed. Company's have created this atmosphere by treating employees so badly when letting an employee go. It's not a one way street any more. Both of my sons have learned this the hard way when being laid off due to the economy vs performing badly.

"Requires" a 30-day notice? What are they going to do, arrest you? I'd take a vacation next week with those 4-5 days, and tell them you aren't coming back (at the end of the vacation, of course).
