For those who may not yet know why: US companies must pay out vacation time when employment terminates, meaning unpaid vacation affects liabilities and thus the balance sheet and thus stock price.

Doesn't that depend on the state?
It does; didn't realize that but it makes sense
It does, but I've never seen any company that doesn't pay for accrued time.
That's a choice the company makes in most states, though, meaning they can just as easily choose not to as choose unlimited vacation.
As I understand it, the company merely needs to be consistent. Either they pay everybody for their accrued time, or they pay nobody.
