Re: Warren Act Violation
You didn't indicate the actual close date. If the employer retains the employees until 60 days after the notice there will be no violation. The employer may also avoid liability by paying and providing benefits to employees through the 60th day. It would be wise to have an experienced labor attorney review the notice you received along with any other employer communications
Re: Warren Act Violation
A WARN act violation can only be determined by the Employer's actions. The employer could still retain or provide pay and benefits through the 60 day period and avoid liability. You should discuss your situation with an attorney experienced in labor issues to determine if any liability or potential liability exists.
