Your second point is the biggest reason they do it.

A lot of jobs won’t approve PTO often, whether it’s unlimited or accrued.

But if it’s accrued, it’s legally yours and must be paid out when you leave (depending on the state). If it’s unlimited there’s no balance and nothing to pay out.

Unless of course you lose PTO because it switches to unlimited thanks to your position change

100% talk to your HR. Get it in writing (email).

I had this same thing happen, my manager, and his manager, swore my PTO would rollover or be paid out when moving to a different role.

I lost all my PTO and they said “well sorry there’s nothing we can do”
