Answer 1

Answer: Workers' Adjustment Retraining and Notification Act

Step-by-step explanation:

The Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act was enacted in 1988 and it is a labor law in the United States that protects workers and their families, by requiring most workers with 100 or more workers to give 60 days advance notification of closing of plants and mass layoffs of the employees.

Without giving the employees proper notice, there will be extreme financial hardship for the employees and their families. Any employer who violates the Act is liable to every worker for an amount that is equal to back pay and the benefits for the violation period of up to 60 days.

Answer 2

Workers' Adjustment Retraining and Notification Act.

Step-by-step explanation:

Workers' Adjustment Retraining and Notification Act is a way of protection the employee, their family and the community by ensuring that employers with over 100 employees provide a 60 day notice before any mass layoff or plant closures.

When companies do not notify their employees or the union of layoffs they may have to offer back pay and fringe benefits and pay penalties as well.
