“Unlimited paid vacation?” Really? How do you prevent abuse?

>>davidw+(OP)
Like every other unlimited gimmick, it's a gimmick. Use too much and you'll find unlimited is very much subject to limits.

Generally this is a way for companies to get out of paying your outstanding vacation you haven't taken when you quit or get laid off.

Not necessarily. I have worked for two companies now with unlimited vacation policies that pay out for two weeks when you leave regardless of what vacation you took.

>>eloff+R1
That's the pessimistic view.

The optimistic view is that they encourage you to do what's most healthy for you and don't track your vacation days.

As with any other benefit, don't abuse it.

It's still a way of getting out of paying for accrued vacation if they pay out two weeks at separation no matter how little vacation you took while working.

Unlimited means "unlimited subject to manager approval". Try taking more than 2-3 weeks off and you will find the limits of unlimited PTO.
