Also question is, do companies have to pay out sick time if you quit?
Employers are not required to pay out accrued, unused paid sick days at the time of termination, resignation or retirement (unless an employer labels PSD as part of a larger paid time off (PTO) package). If an employee is re-hired within one year, previously accrued and unused paid sick days shall be reinstated.
Similarly, does my employer have to pay me sick pay?

People also ask, what happens to unused paid sick leave?

Can a company refuse to pay PTO?
California requires that employers pay terminated employees for accrued vacation time in their final paycheck. Under California law, vacation pay is considered a form of wages if an employer chooses to offer it to employees.
