New York Codifies Employer Requirement to Notify Employees of Unemployment Benefit Rights
Gov. Hochul signed S4878A/A298. The law amends New York Labor Law Section 590 by adding a section that requires employers provide notice to employees that they may be eligible for unemployment benefits whenever the employee’s scheduled hours are reduced or the employee’s employment is terminated. Such notice must include the employer’s name and registration number and a contact address for the employer.
New York State has since released FAQs about the amended law. Employers should review their employment processes to ensure employees receive this notice when required.
