I am planning to leave my job in May. The thing is I have some compensation days (from working during the weekends) that I want to use during my last 2 weeks. I am planning to request for these days off this Friday.
Is this bad, and should I use my compensation days before I put in my 2 weeks notice? I work in California
Side question: I have a floating holiday that I haven't used. Can this be cashed in along with my unused vacation hours when I quit?

Are the compensation days in the form of PTO, or something less official? I don't think it's bad to do so, but if it depends if the employer's policy if they will allow you to use it.
Floating holidays won't be cashed out, but unused PTO will be cashed out.
I would use up the floating holiday and the compensation days (if it's not PTO days) before giving in your notice.
The company i left only paid for half of my PTO...they basically screwed me. I am going to file a complaint with the workforce/employment commission. Not sure if i have a case, but i did document the PTO hours and took screen shots of the PTO hours from their time system. My advice is to use as much or all of your PTO before you decide to quit a company...chances are, the company will short change you. Just play it safe and use it all, but make sure to use your floating holidays first.

One of my employers actually made me use my PTO during my two week notice. I gave notice and only worked one day and was gone. Incidentally, that was their policy and they did that with everyone who resigned.

Ha. I remembered I tried to take a week off the last two weeks since my father was having a surgery, and they threw a fit.

In fairness, it depends on the job. If they're using those two weeks to try and figure out how to pass your responsibilities on to someone else, you shortening the time the have to do that is probably making things a lot worse.
If you work at a job where you're just one of 20 people doing the exact same job, I don't think they would have fought as hard against it.
Request all of the non-PTO days, *then* turn in your notice.
