What are the WARN Act's notice requirements, and who is covered?
"In a nutshell, the WARN Act requires a covered employer to provide 60 days' advance notice of covered plant closings and covered mass layoffs to affected employees or the employees' union representative, if any; the state dislocated worker unit; and the chief elected official of the local government," said Ben Ho, an attorney with Baker McKenzie in San Francisco.
