Description: The Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (WARN) is a federal law which requires business and industry to provide advanced notification to employees when faced with a plant closing or mass layoff. This advance notice provides workers and their families transition time to adjust to the prospective loss of employment, seek and obtain other employment, and, through assistance provided by the State, enter skill training or retraining that will allow those workers to successfully compete in the job market.
