I've been doing a little research (via Google) on this since my post...
It would seem that the company is completely within their rights to terminate me at any time, even though I've already given them two weeks notice. I've also found out that apparently, there is no actual local, state, or federal law saying that they have to honor my two weeks notice, nor do the HAVE to pay me any of my PTO time. As a company, they do not even have to give me ANY PTO time at all.
-Coll Storm, there is no employee manual
-no neekap, it is a medium sized privately owned company. The HR dept consists of only two people.
-And yes m0k13, neekap is right, I was hoping to get my full 11 days of PTO time cashed in.
So.... it would appear that I'll have to take the route willravel suggests.... cut my loses and just be happy the are paying me at least some of my PTO. Oh well, I'm not really a confrontational kind of guy anyway. Once I found there was no legal standing to my benefit, it kind of blew the wind out of my sails anyway. Bummer.
Thanks to all for the comments!!
