The New York State Department of Labor has adopted an emergency rule that requires employers to provide an unemployment insurance notice to employees whose work schedule and/or employment status is impacted by COVID-19.
The following information must be provided:
- NYS Employer Registration Number
- Federal Employer Identification Number
- Employer Name
- Employer Address
All relevant employees, including those who have already been impacted by COVID-19, must be promptly provided with this information. The NYSDOL recommends employers use Form IA 12.3 to help employees expedite the completion of their unemployment applications.
Compliance Recommendations:
Employers with employees in New York must ensure compliance with the new notification requirements. Please contact your dedicated service professional with any questions.
