Unfortunately, yes it is allowed. You have entitlement to PTO and I can often force it to be paid out if it is earned through an accrual basis, but that claim is against the employer who you accrued it with. Once that employer is gone, say through a sale or simply going out of business, the claim disappears too. Hope this helps although I am certain it is not what you wanted to hear.
