Title of bill
An act to amend the labor law, in relation to conditions for the disqualification for unemployment benefits of persons formerly employed by temporary employment services
Purpose
To provide that an employee of a temporary employment service shall be deemed to have voluntarily separated from employment if such individual does not contact the employment firm within five days for reassignment upon the completion of an assignment.
Summary of provisions
Amends Section 593 of the Labor Law to provide that an employee of a temporary employment service shall be deemed to have voluntarily separated from employment if such individual does not contact the employment firm within five days for reassignment upon the completion of an assignment. Failure to contact the temporary employment service shall not be deemed a voluntary separation unless the claimant has been advised of the obligation and that benefits may be denied for the failure to do so.
Justification
Individuals may end job assignments and not contact the temporary employment service that originally assigned the individual to a job. Such individual may be unaware of continuing job opportunities available through reassignment by the temporary employment service and subsequently file for unemployment insurance. This bill will ensure that there is communication between the temporary employment service and the individual in order to determine if there are any opportunities for reassignment.
