Kristen Jones and Jon Klinghoffer Discuss WARN Act in Upcoming Webinar
Join Goldberg Kohn Labor & Employment principals Kristen Jones and Jon Klinghoffer as they discuss the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act in an upcoming webinar on Thursday, July 16, 2020 at 12 pm CT.
Since 1988, the WARN Act and various state laws have sought to protect workers from sudden layoffs by requiring certain employers to give advance notice of plant closings and/or mass layoffs of employees.
Kristen and Jon will guide viewers through:
• 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
CLE credit will be provided.
