WARN ACT PROTECTS CALIFORNIA EMPLOYEES
The WARN Act (Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act) is a Federal law that protects workers in California and throughout the country. The labor law requires most employers with 100 or more employees to provide a 60 calendar-day notification of plant closings and mass layoffs of employees. You might be covered under this Act if you are a manager, supervisor, hourly wage, or salaried worker. Contact an experienced employment attorney for more information and to see if you are protected by the WARN Act.
By providing advance notice to workers and their families, the WARN Act’s goal is to enable an employee to obtain other employment and, if necessary, to take skill training classes that will allow the worker to successfully compete in the job market. There are exceptions to the 60-day notice requirement, such as the occurrence of a natural disaster which destroys a plant, which a knowledgeable employment attorney will be able to discuss with you.
