US employee here. I’m potentially planning to leave around the end of October.

My understanding is that unused accrued vacation/PTO gets paid out when you leave, but unused holiday hours/floating holidays do not.
If that’s correct, should I be using my holiday/floating holiday balance for days off before I leave so I can preserve my vacation balance for the payout?

For example, if I have ~10-15(whatever amount they give us each fiscal year) days of holiday hours available, can I use those days between now and October? Or are there restrictions around using holiday hours for days that aren’t the actual designated holidays or during firm shutdowns?

Just trying to make sure I don’t leave money on the table. Thanks!
