New Legislation Mandates Employer Notification of Unemployment Insurance Benefits

Beginning November 11th, 2023, New York State employers must provide a written notice to inform their employees of unemployment insurance assistance eligibility with the New York State Department of Labor (NYDOL) – at the time of termination, permanently or temporarily, or in any case where there will be a reduction in working hours. This notice applies to all employees. Additionally, the law requires the notice to be in writing and on a specific DOL form that includes:
  • The employer’s name and registration number
  • The employer’s address to direct a request for remuneration and employment information about the employee; and
  • Other information required by the commissioner of labor.
For more information, please visit https://dol.ny.gov/notice-eligibility-ui-benefits. For a copy of the required form to inform qualifying employees of their right to apply for UI, please visit https://dol.ny.gov/system/files/documents/2023/11/ia12.3_0.pdf.
