Depends on who issued it - for an exact date, contact the issuing agency. Red Cross CPR certifications last for 2 years and American Heart Association certifications last for 2 years. Regardless how long the certification is good for, certain standards like NFPA require it annually. Be sure to check your company policy. Best case practice yearly in regards to OSHA training requirements (BBP).
Sick leave laws donât typically require that employers pay for unused sick leave when an employee leaves the company. However, if you use your PTO policy to meet sick leave requirements, in some states, such as California, you would be required to pay out all unused PTO at the time of separation.
In fact, some states even require that departing employees get their last paychecks on their final day of work. In other states, the time limit depends on whether the employee voluntarily quit or was fired. If you are an employer, you should take careful note of these laws. Many employers often break these laws out of ignorance, and there can be consequences if your former employee calls you on it. There are often penalties for violating the final paycheck laws, and if a former employee sues you, you could be required to pay for their attorney's fees as well as court costs. In addition to these final paycheck laws, many states also require employers to pay out unused vacation days to departing employees.
