A 9342 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to required notices for employees receiving resignation solicitations

This bill requires employers to provide employees with a written notice before they accept a resignation request, including when an employer asks an employee to resign or reclassify a termination as a resignation. The notice must clearly explain how resigning may affect unemployment benefits, health insurance coverage (including COBRA costs), bonuses, retirement benefits, and the ability to pursue legal claims. Employers must give this notice at the time of the request, retain a copy for three years, and include specific details about potential consequences. If an employer fails to provide the notice, the resignation is treated as involuntary for unemployment purposes, and the employer may face fines of at least $2,000 per violation.
