Congress passed the�Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act�(WARN Act) in 1988.

The WARN Act requires employers with one hundred or more full-time employees to provide sixty days advance notice to workers.�Sixty days notice is also required for any�layoff�that involves five hundred or more workers, or that affects fifty or more workers who represent at least one-third or more of the workforce.

Adequate Notice Example:

Adequate notice under WARN Act can be provided by combination of employer's original letter announcing seasonal�layoff�as of certain date and subsequent letter clarifying possible employment opportunities for laid�off workers with another company.�(Kalwaytis v. Preferred Meal Systems, Inc)

A written notice employer provided to its employees prior to�mass�layoff�meets statutory and regulatory requirements of WARN Act even if employer notice all employees rather than just those who were affected by�layoff. (Snider v. Commercial Financial Services)
