UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE BENEFITS - VOLUNTARY SEPARATION

Several recent consultations have reminded me of a statement made by an attorney who usually represents employers in employment matters - "do not quit a job unless you have another one because you cannot rely on unemployment insurance benefits as an income". Unfortunately, in this economy, there are also many layoffs and firings and for those of you on Facebook, become a fan of the NYS Department of Labor Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#/nyslabor - it is a window to the world of unemployment in New York.
