"Stay Ahead of Layoffs: How to Check for Upcoming Mass Layoffs Near You"
https://www.newsbreak.com/@c/1608581?s=01
The WARN Act is a labor law passed by Congress in 1988 that requires employers with 100 or more full-time employees to provide a minimum 60-day advance written notice of a worksite closing affecting 50 or more employees, or a mass layoff affecting at least 50 employees and one-third of the worksite’s total workforce, or 500 or more employees at a single site of employment during any 90-day period. Failure to meet the WARN notice requirements can result in penalties for employers, but it will not necessarily stop a mass layoff from happening.
The notices required by the WARN Act are public information, and several states have enacted their own WARN notice websites where people can read which companies are announcing layoffs. In addition, free outplacement services are provided by the public workforce system when companies file WARN notices, assisting workers with re-employment.
However, the WARN Act makes certain exceptions
to the requirements when employers can show that layoffs or worksite closings occurred due to faltering companies, unforeseen business circumstances, and natural disasters. Small companies are also exempt from providing WARN notices, so an employee would likely hear about an upcoming layoff internally.
Experts advise employees to continue to monitor their company and pay attention to what is happening if they think a layoff is coming. Employees who receive a 60-day notice should start looking for another job, as 60 days may not be enough time in today's world, but it beats having no advance notice at all.
