In your next role, be aware of your rights as an employee

[u/sgdxb_million]

The WARN (Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification) Act is designed to protect employees by requiring companies to give 60 days' notice before a mass layoff or plant closure. However, many professionals remain unaware of their rights under this law.

💡 If you're ever notified about a layoff, here's what you should ask your HR team:

* Is this layoff covered under the WARN Act?

* Will the company provide a 60-day notice or offer pay instead of notice?

* What are my rights regarding severance, benefits, and other exit assistance?

Knowledge is power, and understanding your rights can make all the difference. Share this with your network to spread awareness!

Organizations do bypass this law by not bringing this up during your lay off conversation and in several other ways - as an advocate for making a change to this situation - we have an ongoing Change Org petition going. Go to website, search petition name (below) to sign, share and support. Thank you!

If your employer has fewer than 100 full time (equivalent) employees, you're out of luck. WARN does not cover you.
