Employers are not required to provide a notice about unemployment insurance benefits rights to new hires. Employees are usually notified of this benefit right when they are terminated involuntarily. The unemployment benefits rights notice explains what an individual needs to do in order to obtain unemployment compensation while in between jobs.

However, the employer should provide information to new hires regarding their rights in terms of the Mental Health Parity Act, the Newborns' and Mothers' Health Protection Act, and the Women's Health and Cancer Rights Act.

The Mental Health Parity Act prevents a group health plan from placing annual or lifetime dollar limits on mental health benefits that are lower than annual or lifetime dollar limits for medical and surgical benefits offered under the plan.

The Newborns' and Mothers' Health Protection Act requires group health plans that offer maternity coverage to pay for at least 48-hours of hospital stay following childbirth (96-hours for a Cesarean section).

Finally, the Women's Health and Cancer Rights Act provides protections to patients who choose to have breast reconstruction in connection with a mastectomy.
