<prompt> Human: I recently put in my two-weeks notice with my current employer due to finding another job. I had 8 hours of PTO paid time off left that I had not used. I called out of work a few days ago and requested that my PTO be applied for the day. I just received an email from upper management that my PTO was denied, and that they do not allow PTO to be used within the last two weeks of employment. Is this legal? I dont understand how they can deny me the right to use paid time off that Ive already earned simply because Ive put in my notice with the company. Is this a common practice that Im unaware of? Thanks in advance for your help!  <response>: Does the company have an official PTO policy? Try reading that.
