My company has pretty much the same policy with a max amount you can carry over from year to year, but California laws say you can't have PTO time taken away from you and it needs to be paid out
Yeah, but "not accruing" isn't the same as "taken away" legally so the max doesn't cause you to start getting paid. We have to actively get it paid out by choice before it maxes out or it goes into the void before we ever "get" it
For sure not 1:1, we get all our hours on Jan 1st so there isn't a sense of monthly accrual. I know California has a minimum number of sick time that has to be given though, so I'd be curious how that might conflict with the "not accruing" set up.

My company's policy is you can accrue to a max and then start losing it, or buy it out before it maxes out.
