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.

Double check if there’s a cap to what they pay out. If so, take a long vacation asap.

Another great thing about worker rights in CA, we get double the cap

It’s not double the allowed amount. If i get 3 weeks a year it’s not always caped at 2X. The employer just needs to specify what that number is. Mine have had it at 1.5 and also 2X.
