(EMAILWIRE.COM, March 27, 2009 ) New York, NY - Lawyer Central is now providing information about the WARN Act for people who have lost their jobs due to mass layoffs, plant closings, and worksite shutdowns. The WARN Act is a federal law that requires many big employers to give at least 60 days advance notice in the event of a large scale reduction in force. This law, which stands for Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification, is designed to provide employees, families, and communities with adequate time to prepare for the layoffs and find new jobs.
