Whether Florida makes an employer pay out accrued, unused vacation or PTO when a job ends, applied to your own hours and rate.
Florida PTO payout checker
The accrued, unused balance on your last pay stub or in the HR portal. One vacation day is usually 8 hours.
Salaried? Divide your annual salary by 2,080 (52 weeks of 40 hours) for an hourly figure.
In Florida, what the handbook, offer letter, or contract says about unused vacation at separation is what controls. Read it before counting on a payout, and keep a copy: a promise in writing is what makes the amount collectible.
Enter your unused hours and your rate to see the Florida rule on your numbers.
When the final check itself is due is a separate deadline: the Florida final paycheck checker shows it for a quit and for a firing.
Informational only, not legal advice. Sick leave, commissions, and bonuses follow different rules, and collective bargaining agreements can change the answer. For the timing rules and citations on the check itself, see the Florida final paycheck reference; this record is cited to No Florida statute addresses payout of accrued vacation at separation for private-sector employees..
How the Florida rule works
No Florida statute or state agency rule addresses whether private employers must pay out accrued vacation when a job ends. Payout depends on the employer's own policy or contract. Florida has no state wage and hour agency handling private final-pay claims, so a policy promise to pay unused vacation is typically pursued as a contract or unpaid-wages claim in court.
This checker states the rule and prices your unused hours; it is informational only and not legal advice, and it does not decide whether your employer owes you. The other half of the question, when the final check itself must arrive, is covered by the Florida final paycheck checker and the Florida final paycheck reference.
