Legal Question in Employment Law in California
Warn Act
I work for a company that has 263 stores throughtout the united states. They decided to do mass layoffs. They notified the people who were being laid off on the day they were to be laid off. They did pay severance pay. But were they required to give more than one days notice.Also is each store considered an indivudual even though they reduced the work force company wide would that fall under the warn act.

Re: Warn Act
WARN (Worker Adjustment and Retraining Act) requires an employer with 100 or more employees to give at least 60 days notice of a plant closing or mass layoff. The issue is going to turn on whether the layoffs at your particular site constitute mass layoffs. For purposes of WARN, a mass layoff is one where over a 30 day period, at least 500 employees lose their job OR at least 1/3 out of at least 50 employees, EXCLUDING part-time employees, lose their jobs.
If you were let go as part of a massive layoff as defined above, feel free to contact our office for a free consultation.
Best of Luck.
