50 state-chart: Separation of employment

With turnover on the rise due to layoffs, resignations, and retirements, HR professionals are navigating an increasingly complex offboarding landscape in 2025.

But departures don’t just signal the end of an employee’s time with your organization. They also trigger a range of legal requirements that vary by state.

Every separation event is a compliance moment. Employers must meet specific state-level obligations that govern what documents to provide, how quickly to issue them, and how to protect themselves from legal exposure, especially in cases of involuntary termination.

This easy-to-use resource helps HR teams confidently manage this process across jurisdictions. It outlines key requirements related to:

  • Unemployment compensation notifications

  • Mini-COBRA and continuation coverage laws

  • Service letter obligations for terminated employees

  • Multistate employee notice rules and more
