Proof of service shall consist of an affirmation by the individual who served the document, specifying the document served, the person or persons upon whom it was served, and the means by which it was served. Such affirmation shall be signed and shall state “I affirm under penalties of perjury under the laws of New York, which may include a fine or imprisonment, that the foregoing is true, and I understand that this document will be filed in a proceeding before the Public Employment Relations Board.” Proof of service may also take the form of a United States Postal Service tracking receipt or report, or by other United States Postal Service issued document establishing the date of mailing, the identity and address of the recipients, or an acknowledgment of receipt, whether sworn or unsworn, by the party or parties upon whom service is required, or by an agent thereof.
