You need to provide some more information before I can answer this quesiton fully. If you are a memeber of a union, you union rep will know the circumstances under which you have to notify your employer. If you are not a unionized worker, your company may have a policy manual or guide that establishes when you have to notify. If you are an at-will employee without any contract or union, then you may not be obligated to notify your employer at all. Also, if you work in the New Jersey office you maybe covered by New Jersey employment laws and not NY laws (though they are relatively similar). Please feel free to contact my office for a free phone consultation. Our number is 1-800-640-2000.
