ASA Issue Paper: WARN Act Obligations for Staffing Agencies

As facility closures and workforce restructurings become more prevalent, employers must be mindful of several considerations when planning and implementing layoffs. Among those considerations is the federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, as well as its various state counterparts.

If the WARN Act is triggered, WARN notices must be provided to affected employees, any applicable union, and various government entities within 60 days of the employees’ termination. A new ASA issue paper, written by Isaac J. Burker, Esq., of Jackson Lewis PC, examines when WARN Act notifications are required and provides tips for staffing agencies to stay in compliance.
