Anybody knows if those who have been notified so far had to leave their positions immediately or were they given any time to clear out their desk?
Also, is it the same day walk out even if the person is getting a sixty-day notice mandated by WARN or do they have to work for the remaining sixty days?
This is a copy/paste from one of old threads... see below...
On the 60 Days Notice Question
Here is a collection of previous posts on this topic:
WARN requires 60 notice or 60 days pay in lieu of notice

I am receiving the 60 days pay plus health insurance in lieu of notice.

If the company designates that severance benefits are made in lieu of WARN notice, then unemployment benefits may be delayed for up to 60 days.

File today. If you sign an agreement that severance was paid in lieu of notice, then benefits may be delayed 60 days. The April agreement did not say that severance was in lieu of notice and people collected beginning the first full week they were unemployed.

By law they're required to give employees 60 day notice of layoffs. By paying us 8 weeks, they get around this law. It's called pay in lieu of notice. It's not them being compassionate, it's just them avoided lawsuits.

They can give you a 60 day severance payment in lieu of the notice. That's why people get 8 week severance, in that case they do not want to file anything.

60 day notice - Will there be a 60 day notice for laid off employees? Will the employee be paid for those 60 days in addition to the severance?

Q doesn't typically require people to leave same day for layoffs. WARN varies by state, but San Diego employees probably are covered under WARN.
They have to comply with the law of each country.
If it was WARN we'd know by now.
