At-will employment allows both employers and employees to end their working relationship at any time, for any reason, or for no reason at all. This means an employee can quit without giving notice, and an employer can terminate employment without providing a reason.

All separated employees in Pennsylvania—whether they were terminated or resigned—must be notified of the availability of unemployment compensation. Employers must provide a completed Form UC-1609 – Employer Information.

Employees should be provided with a UC-1609 form upon separation for any reason. This form provides information to assist the employee in filing for UC benefits if they choose to file. The fastest and most convenient way to file for unemployment is at .uc.pa.
