According to workfairness.org accrued vacation time that an employee will not use before leaving a company; Is the company required to pay for that time?
It depends on your employer and where you live. 27 states—Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island (after one year of employment), South Dakota, Tennessee, West Virginia, and Wyoming—and the District of Columbia have laws regarding payment of accrued vacation time. However, in those states, you are only given a legal right to challenge an employer over unpaid accrued vacation time in your final paycheck if the employer promised payment of unpaid accrued vacation time in your final paycheck. In the rest of the states, there is no state law that requires your employer to pay you for accrued vacation leave, although your employer may do so voluntarily, or may have to do so if required by a policy or contract. Though no state has a law requiring employers to promise to pay for accrued vacation days, some states do hold employers accountable if they make the promise and break it.

PDI should do the "RIGHT" thing and allow employees to get paid for the max (5) carry forward days if employee has accrued that vacation time by 12/31/17 and so chooses.
By PDI changing the VACATION POLICY on the last month of the contract shows their lack of INTEGRITY and DISHONESTY to employees! What's going on PDI? NOVARTIS?
