WARN ACT - please read this.

The Worker Adjustment & Retraining Notification (WARN) Act is a Federal law that says that your employer must give you 60 days written notice before you are laid off, and they must pay you for these 60 days.
The WARN money is in addition to any severance payments you may be entitled to

In many states, there is also a state version of the WARN law

If your employer fails to provide the required 60 days notice and pay you for 60 days, you may file a complaint with the Federal Department of Labor (DOL). You may also file a complaint with the state agency that enforces this law. For example, if you live in Wisconsin, type
Wisconsin and Warn ACT in any search engine to identify the Wisconsin agency that enforces the Wisconsin Warn Act

If you live in these states, please learn something about the WARN Act whether you have been laid off or not. Just because a law says an employer is supposed to give to 60 days notice and pay you for the 60 days before they lay you off, doesn't mean the employer will follow the law.

Yes. The WARN websites also post layoffs and closings even before the companies inform their employees because they are required to inform their state government first of any closings or layoffs. The websites usually posts the notification letter a certain company sent to the state with the reason for layoffs or closing and the number of employees affected. I usually check WARN websites before checking this website.

You can learn more about the WARN Act here. There is a Federal WARN ACT and most states have a state version of the WARN ACT. As a result, you can file a complaint with the Department of Labor (DOL) for the Federal law and whatever agency enforces the WARN ACT in your state.
