Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act

The Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act is a U.S. law that requires employers with 100 or more employees to give a 60-day advance notice of any mass layoffs or plant closings. This law is designed to give workers time to prepare for changes that could affect their jobs, such as finding new employment or accessing retraining programs. It applies to situations where significant job losses occur, helping to protect workers’ rights and ensure they have time to adjust to the impact of such disruptions.
