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.
When an employee is terminated, any unused vacation time must be paid along with the final paycheck. Given how hard most people work at startups, one thing to consider would be to have a relatively skimpy number of paid vacation days or PTO hours, but offer âcomp timeâ to those who put in lots of extra long hours, nights and weekends, etc.
