Yes, getting paid out for unused but accrued PTO is contractual: it depends on the terms of a written employment contract or written employee handbook which unequivocally sets forth a policy of paying unused PTO on separation from employment; there is no inherent right to be paid out, other than what is set out in a contract or handbook.
A supervisor is management: a supervisor supervises persons, a department, or a process, the same way that managers manage persons, a depatment, or a process. Any court find that the two are equivalent.
