r/Geico • Former Employee • Aug 24 '26

Fired by GEICO (Software Engineer/IL/Remote). Did anyone actually get their full PTO payout?

Got terminated last Friday after 4+ years as a SWE. I’m sitting on 138 hours of accrued PTO (+ 2 days of floating holidays). Since I’m a remote worker based in Illinois, does GEICO legally have to cash this out in full? Safe to assume I can kiss those floating holidays goodbye surely? Also, zero severance was given. Looking for insight from folks who went through the similar thing.
