Extended COVID-19 Furloughs, Layoffs and other WARN Act Concerns

Angelo Amador of the Restaurant Law Center will host a webinar, with guests from RLC Law Firm Partners Jackson Lewis and Sheppard Mullin to offer insights on the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act and various state offshoots.

The federal WARN Act and state “mini-WARN” seek to protect workers from abrupt layoffs by requiring some employers to give advance written notice of mass layoffs. Michael Jakowsky and Isaac Burker of Jackson Lewis will discuss how the federal WARN Act operates, particularly its current implications on extended furloughs or hours reductions due to COVID-19. Derek Havel of Sheppard Mullin will also address a sample of state mini-WARN Act statutes and peculiarities to take into account to remain in full compliance.
