If you had already earned to PTO prior to the company's revision, then the company is obligated to pay you for that, just as they would have to pay you the wages you had already earned if they decided to cut your pay. However, if the change only applied to the accrual of PTO after the revision, then you are not entitled to the time off.
I would recommend that you contact the local bar association’s lawyer referral service (they all have them) to locate a lawyer who practices employment law in your state, since cases like this are always very fact sensitive, and there may be nuances in state or local laws that affect your situation and that only an attorney in your state would be aware of.If you want to follow up, please identify your questions in the subject line as being for “Counselor.” Although it’s not required by any means, a bonus (tip) is always appreciated if you find the answer helpful. I would also appreciate any feedback you can give me to improve the quality of my answers.Counselor
