Your Notice is What Matters in a Mass Layoff. Being Laid Off Without Warning is Illegal.

Losing your job in a mass layoff is hard. Being given no notice is devastating. The federal WARN Act requires large employers to provide 60 days' written notice for mass layoffs or plant closings. Let's explore your rights.

01

Mass Layoff

Your employer (with 100+ employees) laid off 500+ workers, or laid off 50-499 workers if they made up at least 33% of the workforce at a single site.
02

Plant Closing

Your employer shut down a facility or operating unit and terminated 50 or more employees during a 30-day period.
03

No 60-Day Notice

You received little or no warning. The company failed to provide 60 days' written notice to you, your union, or the state, as required by law.

Answering your Questions

Understanding Your Rights

Navigating your rights under the WARN Act can feel overwhelming. The rules are specific, but they provide real protection. Our Free Leverage Assessment is built to clarify your situation.

Q: What is the WARN Act?

A. The Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act helps protect workers by requiring large employers to give 60 days' notice of certain mass layoffs or plant closings.

Q: What if I get 60 days' pay?

A. An employer can legally give less than 60 days' notice if they pay you for all the days of notice you should have received. If you got no notice and no extra pay, it may be a violation.
