I am filling out a form for the New York State Department of Labor to apply for unemployment benefits after my work ended with a recruiter. One of the questions asks about my work location.
If different than your employer's address above, what was the address of your job location or job site?
Since this was a remote position with a recruiter, what would my job location be? Would it be the recruiter that employed me? The client I was working with? Or my own home address?
I have no knowledge of labor law, but I speak English and I'm a New York resident. It sure sounds to me like, in your case, your job site is your home address. It is the physical location where you do your job.
Additional attempted clarification from Colors-newyork.com:
What was your job location or job site unemployment?
Answer Expert Verified During a job interview you may be asked what your last job site or job location was. This would be the address of the place that you last worked.
Where is your job location?
A job’s location usually means where the job is performed. The vast majority of jobs are performed in a single, specific location: a workplace. In some cases, such as a field technician, the workplace varies because the work involves going to various locations and provide technical service to support a service.
What was your job site meaning?
jobsite (plural jobsites) A physical location where work is done, especially construction work.
What is your work location?
More Definitions of Work Location Work Location means the street address where an employee normally works. Work Location means any fixed place of business, office, or plant where employees regularly work in the trade or business of the employer.
So if that is correct, then the "physical location where work is done" would be, in the OP's case, their home address.
