ULPT: If you get paid annual leave and you're definitely going to quit your job soon, ask for a large pay rise first. When you quit, your accumulated annual leave will be paid out at the higher rate (lemmy.world)

I had 6 weeks of annual leave saved up. Im changing to a job that pays significantly more than my current salary. When my boss asked me what it would take to stay, I asked for a salary increase of 35% which he begrudingly gave me. Then I quit. This equated to an entitlement payout of about $10,700 instead of $8000 on my previous rate, an extra $2700. And the new job still pays more than the increased rate I asked for.

My next paycheck will be - worked 2 weeks (not full), PTO 2 weeks, 1 week of substituted pay (same as if I worked), 4 weeks of unpaid PTO.

I am quiting and I worked about week but my paycheck will be best in whole year I work here.

What is "unpaid PTO"?

My bad, unused, in my country employer have to make sure you use your PTO or he has to pay you.

And if you have PTO from last year you can inform employer that you take it 14 days before and he has to approve it.
