WARN Act (Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act)

The WARN Act (Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act) is a U.S. law that requires employers with 100 or more employees to give at least 60 days' notice before a mass layoff or plant closure. Its purpose is to provide workers and communities with advance warning so they can prepare for job losses, seek new employment, or retraining. The law applies to certain significant layoffs or closures, ensuring transparency and allowing time for support measures, but there are exceptions depending on circumstances like temporary layoffs or unforeseen events.
