"Check if Your State Allows Layoff and Closure Information"

The Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (WARN Act) requires employers with 100 or more full-time employees to give 60 days of advanced notice for plant closings or mass layoffs. Some states have even stricter rules, requiring WARN notices from smaller companies or employers planning layoffs that affect fewer people. Many states make filed WARN notices publicly available online, and searching your state’s name plus “WARN notices” will point you in the right direction to find your state’s database, if it’s available online. The latest jobless claims numbers show 13,000 more people applied for unemployment benefits in the last week of April when compared to the week before.

NJ workers to benefit from new layoff law starting Monday.

A new law in New Jersey guarantees workers in a business with 100 or more full-time employees one week of severance pay for every year of service when layoffs impact 50 or more workers. The law expands the New Jersey WARN Act to guarantee workers at least 90-days notice when downsizing is on the way. Companies are affected if they’ve been in business in New Jersey for at least three years. A failure to comply with the new law will trigger an extra four weeks of severance payouts for employees.
