Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (WARN)

The Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act is a U.S. law that requires large employers to give workers at least 60 days' notice before closing a facility or laying off a significant number of employees. This advance warning allows workers to prepare for unemployment, seek new jobs, or access training programs. The law aims to protect employees' rights and give them time to adjust to changes affecting their livelihoods. It applies to businesses with 100 or more employees and is designed to promote transparency and communication between employers and their workforce.
