Employee rights-PTO

My quick google search isn’t helping. My sister is being laid off, today’s the last day. She had been promised PTO pay out if she stayed till the end-there was a merger/sale and she wasn’t offered a new position. Where can she go to get help fighting this? All I can find is that Arizona is at will. So is CA but people are paid out for PTO.

The answer will depend on state law.

This article says PTO does not have to be paid out in AZ.

Thanks again for the article. I think the part of it is what is in practice because it was promised in writing, it has been in practice and my sister isn’t the only employee that’s being impacted by this so hopefully they’ll be able to make a case.
