(EMAILWIRE.COM, March 10, 2009 ) New York, NY - Lawyer Central has recently added information about the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act to its website. The WARN Act is a federal law that requires certain employers to provide written notice to employees in the event of mass layoffs, plant closings, and company shut downs.
The WARN Act generally applies to layoffs of over 50 workers by employers with 100 or more employees, not including employees who work less than 20 hours a week or have worked for the company for less than six months. In addition, the WARN Act applies to hourly to hourly and salaried employees, including managers and supervisors. The advance notice required by this law gives workers time to adjust to the prospective loss of employment, seek and obtain other jobs, and, if necessary, undertake skill training allow them to compete successfully in the job market. However, many workers are unaware of their WARN Act rights, which leaves employers free exploit this lack of knowledge and fail to provide the proper warning.

Frequently asked questions and guides to the state WARN acts of New York, New Jersey, Illinois, California, Ohio and Wisconsin are also available on the site.
