PROBATIONARY CITY EMPLOYEE WAS NOT GIVEN SEVEN DAYS NOTICE OF HIS TERMINATION, REMEDY IS TO PAY THE EMPLOYEE FOR THE SEVEN DAYS (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department, reversing Supreme Court, determined petitioner, a probationary city employee, was not given the requisite seven day's notice of termination. The remedy was to provide petitioner with seven days pay:

… [T]he petitioner correctly contends that, in terminating his employment, the City failed to comply with 4 NYCRR 4.5(b)(5)(iii). That regulation requires, among other things, that a probationer who is to be discharged from employment for unsatisfactory service receive written notice at least one week prior to termination (see 4 NYCRR 4.5[b][5][iii]). Here, the petitioner received written notice on the day his employment was terminated, and the City did not rebut the petitioner's assertion that he had not received oral notice prior to that date. Accordingly, it cannot be said that the City substantially complied with 4 NYCRR 4.5(b)(5)(iii)… .

Under the circumstances of this case, including that the petitioner was deprived of the required seven days' notice but was notified of his discharge prior to the expiration of his period of probation … , we deem it appropriate to award him the relief he has requested on appeal for the failure to comply with 4 NYCRR 4.5(b)(5)(iii), specifically, one day's pay, at the salary he was earning at the time of his discharge, for each of the seven days he was not provided the requisite notice … . The Court of Appeals has determined that such a remedy is appropriate in the analogous context in which a school authority fails to give a probationary teacher 30 days' written notice of termination, as required by Education Law § 3019-a … . Seven days of pay is what the petitioner would have received had the City complied with the applicable regulation by making the petitioner's discharge effective seven days after it provided the written notice. Matter of Santucci v City of Mount Vernon, 2018 NY Slip Op 06745, Second Dept 10-10-18
