Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act

Read a random definition: confidence

A quick definition of Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act:

Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act: A law that says if a company is going to close a factory or lay off a lot of workers, they have to tell the workers and the government 60 days before it happens. This gives the workers time to find new jobs or get training for new careers.

A more thorough explanation:

The Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (WARN) is a federal law that requires employers to give notice to their employees, the state-dislocated-workers unit, and the chief elected official of the local government when a plant closing or mass layoff is going to occur. This notice must be given at least 60 days before the closing or layoff takes place.

If a company is planning to close a factory and lay off a large number of employees, they must give notice to the affected employees, the state's dislocated workers unit, and the local government at least 60 days before the closure. This gives the employees time to prepare for the loss of their jobs and seek new employment opportunities.

Another example would be if a company is planning to lay off a large number of employees due to financial difficulties. They must give notice to the affected employees, the state's dislocated workers unit, and the local government at least 60 days before the layoff. This gives the employees time to prepare for the loss of their jobs and seek new employment opportunities.

These examples illustrate how the WARN Act protects employees by giving them advance notice of plant closings and mass layoffs. This allows them to plan for their future and seek new employment opportunities before they lose their jobs.

@windyMagician: UCLA daughter. 100%.
do law schools care about course rigor?
@AcceptableSourGerbil: not really. It's a soft at best. Sadly, LSAC GPA and LSAT are by far the biggest gatekeepers
@AcceptableSourGerbil: you have solid stats though, you should be very proud!
Based on my experience, I don't think most schools care too much about course rigor unfortunately. It might push you over the edge to an A, but it won't get your foot in the door.
