SUBSTITUTE TEACHER WAS NOT GIVEN REASONABLE ASSURANCE OF FUTURE EMPLOYMENT AS REQUIRED BY THE LABOR LAW, UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN DENIED ON THAT GROUND (THIRD DEPT).

The Third Department determined a substitute teacher had not been given reasonable assurance of employment following the summer break and should not have been denied unemployment benefits on that ground:

​

This Court has well-established precedent interpreting the identical phrase in Labor Law § 590 (10), “reasonable assurance,” regarding two successive academic years or terms to require “a representation by the employer” as to future employment . This representation often takes the form of a letter from an employer assuring a per diem substitute teacher of future employment opportunities … .

​

Here, it is uncontested that the employer never sent any letter to claimant or provided him with any other form of notice that made a representation regarding claimant’s employment after the recess. Matter of Papapietro (Commissioner of Labor), 2017 NY Slip Op 08596, Third Dept 12-7-17
