Jon Klinghoffer Presenting a Webinar on the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act
On Thursday, July 16, 2020, Goldberg Kohn Labor & Employment principal Jon Klinghoffer is presenting a webinar on the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act.

Jon's presentation will address:
- How the Federal WARN Act works and its requirements
- Various state mini-WARN Act rules and nuances to take into account
- Understanding the difference between layoffs and furloughs
- Plant closing vs. a mass layoff and how to handle each
- Navigating the 30- and 90-day look back periods that can create pitfalls
- Considerations to take into account as you extend furloughs
- Proactive strategies to minimize WARN Act liability
