Handled differently in taxes. I'd have much less utility, if they paid it out, as 47% would get skimmed off. That's the case with most benefits. Earned income is taxed to death.
My husband actually finds it hard to take the PTO because he has so much overtime, and then they harrass him at the end of the year and he like takes random days off, just to be rid of them. They don't allow pay-outs.
