Question

If employers covered by the ________ do not notify the employees (and their union, if applicable) of layoffs, they may have to offer back pay and fringe benefits and pay penalties as well.

Answer 1

Answer: The correct answer is the WARN Act

Step-by-step explanation:

The WARN Act refers to the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act.

It offers a level of protection to workers, their families and communities against plant closings and/or mass layoffs. This it achieves by requiring employers to give their employees sixty days notice before a plant closing or mass layoff.

Failure to comply leads to penalties to the employers.
