As of April 11, 2012, the template has been updated to indicate that the Acknowledgment of Receipt is optional. Signatures by the employer or employee may provide assurance and confirmation that the notice was, in fact, provided by the employer and received by the employee, as intended by the Legislature. While the use of this acknowledgment thus better protects both the employer and employee, it is not required. If an employer wants to use the acknowledgment section (indicated as “optional” on the template), the employer representative may be any person the employer has authorized to sign the acknowledgment.
