Here's my situation. I gave my two weeks notice the first of this week. I've found other employment and am choosing to persue it. I currently have 11 days of PTO (Personal/Paid Time Off) that I can use. Yesterday and today I transfered all of my duties and projects to other team members. There ar still responsibilities that I can cover in my remaining week employed at my current employer.

Now...here's the thing..... HR (Human Resources) has heard that "I've transfered all my projects" and they seem to think there is nothing left for me to do. I just got a call from them stating that they would like to make tomorrow my last day, forcing my to use 5 of my 11 PTO days for my remaining week, and thus only reimbursing me for 6 of the PTO days I'll have left.

This seems unjust to me. There ARE things I could do next week, and I COULD keep working for them. The 11 PTO days are mine and it doesn't seem right that they are forcing me out ahead just to save a few bucks. I mean, I understand that they are a company and out to make money, but still, this isn't cool!

So what do I do? Just be happy with 6 extra days pay and enjoy my week off? Or do I really fight this? Is this even legal on their part?

(And yes, the company screwing with us like this is a big part of why I'm leaving!!)
