Bill Summary

For legislation relative to employee resignation. Labor and Workforce Development.

AI Summary

This bill amends existing laws to provide more rights and protections for employees when resigning from their jobs. Specifically, it allows parties in a hearing to request to postpone or reschedule the hearing within 14 business days. It also clarifies that an employee must provide a written letter of resignation to be considered as having "voluntarily" quit their job, which is relevant for determining unemployment benefits eligibility. Additionally, the bill states that an employee will not be disqualified from receiving unemployment benefits if their employer notifies the Department of Unemployment Assistance that they are no longer contesting the employee's voluntary resignation.
