Unpaid Sick Time

[bromanyuk]

I am was working as employee for IT recruiting/consulting company (W2 with all benefits). Duration of this employment was tied to the particular project (contract with the client ).
Project was coming to the end, so I found another position and gave two weeks notice ( not required but rather as a courtesy to the client) .
Anyway, during those two weeks I took two days of sick time.

In my final check those two days of sick time were not reflected.
I have time-sheets signed by my supervisor on client's site that I have sent to my payroll department.

Is this legal not paying sick time for the days while I was still their employee?

Both my employer company and client are located in Dallas metroplex, Texas.

Thanks in advance.

Yes, it is legal. It is very common (and very legal) for an employer to refuse to pay for any time off once an employee has given their notice.

Once again it is proven that it is not worth a dime to be loyal to your employer. I would be better off leaving without notice...

Thanks for the reply.

Your opinion does not change the legality of the answer.

The purpose of giving notice is to allow a smooth transition of duties, which obviously cannot occur if the employee who is leaving, is not there.
