Have any New York employees looked into this law? New York State Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification ACT requires employers with 50 or more full time employees to provide at least 90 days advanced written notice of mass layoffs, relocations, and employment losses. I did not get one did you?

now that is a bit of interesting info from rbq ... https://labor.ny.gov/workforcenypartners/warn/warnportal.shtm

If your in NY might want to check that, it's looks to be 90 days minimum severence in lieu of advanced notice.
Not legally obligated when the company offers you a SUB package equal to or better than the required notification period. WARN is only 60 days as of current regulations, not 90 days.
It is also why our company and its peers have taken to layoffs in groups of 400 employees at a time, typically with 100 or less in any geographical location because given the size of the corporation, it doesn't warrant triggering the WARN act.
It's a good question.
