Does IBM payout sick time in the event of a layoff in US?
I believe they do payout unused vacation days, but how about sick time?

If you're sick then you just take a sick (absence) day if you need it but sick days are not automatically given to you to save up to get cashed out or saved up or used up like vacation days. This is not like the federal government where employees can take sick days like vacation days and can save up their sick days and carry over if they don't use them.
It was not paid out for me. Vacation was paid pro-rated on accrued days.
You can't be paid out for something that doesn't exist. Well that is unless you're a senior IBM executive. Then you creatively (aka borderline illegally) reclassify a few products or move a business unit and voila you got that chalet you tell yourself you earned.
In addition to no sick days, there are also no layoffs. IBM doesn't lay people off...it terminates their employment, permanently.
In other words, they are fired.
There is no sick leave and 2 or 3 personal days I forget
There is no such thing as sick time at IBM It does not exist period
Take all of your sick leave and personal days as soon as you are informed you are part of a layoff. This also minimizes the time you have to be there and gives you 100% uninterrupted time to search for another job,
Accrued Vacation days are paid out.
Personal Choice days are not paid out.
There is no paid allocation for sick days.
Sicktime does not exist at IBM
I am in the US and was recently fired for "low performance" (what a joke). They do not pay out sick time but they do pay out vacation.
No- they do not pay sick time when you leave (whether resignation or RA).
