Worker Adjustment & Retraining Notification
The Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act is a federal law that helps ensure advance notice to employees in cases of qualified plant closings and mass layoffs. Employers are required to provide written notice 60 days prior to the date of a mass layoff or plant closing, in addition to other requirements. Employees of companies who have not complied with the WARN Act are entitled to certain rights. Our firm has represented clients in numerous cases that have resulted in monetary settlements for employees whose employers did not comply with the law.
