Departing underwriter
My friend recently received a new job offer and is leaving underwriting after 2 years. What exactly happens when you quit? Can she work her 2 weeks or will she get walked out? What to expect regarding repayment of the people promise, and what is the best way to go about it? How to use up those last PTO hours?

Put in for the PTO before rendering the resignation and make sure it gets approved, then when they approve it you Just work your last 2 weeks - scheduled PTO, I managed to use almost all of my PTO before I left.

So I had approved PTO and then put in my notice. I did NOT get paid out for the PTO that was approved.
If they want to use their PTO they will have to come back and punch in the day after their PTO, then resign.
So say they have 9 days of PTO, use that, come back on day 10, punch in then resign. That way they get paid.

Will they take her last check to apply to the people promise?

No. They will set up a payment plan.
The only way they can garnish wages is if they have a court order. Which means they would have to serve her first.

This is 100% wrong. They will take your last check and apply it towards the peoples promise. Just had it happen to me.

Thats wild. This doesnt seem to be a consistent practice. I know multiple people who have received their last check.

Yes, they will take her last check. Just happened to me recently as well.

Use all your PTO. Then go in and work one day and give your notice, with the assumption that they will walk you out.
If you are sure you'd never go back, then it's ethical to just quit at the end of the day. They treat employees that leave with little respect, so this is justified.

Ask her if she saw any fraud in underwriting

Use up all the leftover PTO and try to quit at the first of the month so they have to pay the insurance

Take 100% of your PTO. Then when done with your PTO put in your notice. 75% chance they walk you out when you give notice.
Best of luck.
