Thread regarding Paramount Global layoffs

@at it's not consistent because there's some remote people who didn't receive any WARN act/pay in lieu of notice in their separation documents

@ae this has been explained repeatedly on this board for months. We all know the answer.

@ar Yes definitely will do

@aq I'm in the exact same boat as you, reporting to NY and my manager is there too. Can you update on this thread once you get a response? I'm planning on emailing them to ask about it too and will update to help anyone else in our situation

@ap Yes I'm remote, but for remote workers WARN rules apply for wherever the remote workers report into. I report into NY so NY WARN applies to me.

It gets tricky on what % of NY workers were laid off because that what determines if WARN is applied or not. I emailed and asked HR Is my separation subject to WARN Act notice / 60 days pay in lieu of notice?

Not sure what else to fo

@a5 I also got my package and it's only for 4 weeks, with nothing about WARN. I'm remote and in CA. Are you also remote?

@a9 People are getting laid off, why do you not expect them to have questions?

ffs how many times is this same question going to be asked on this board?

@a5 i would def check with someone on that

I got my package and it's 4 weeks, confused on if this layoff counts as a WARN needed layoff that requires the 60 day minimum

warn is also a federal law with 60 days for us employees .. it can't be less

@OP WARN is by state. And it's not added to severance. It's 2 weeks per year of service and WARN (if applicable based on where you live) is counted as those weeks. So if you were eligible for WARN by living in NY they'd count that as part of your 2 weeks per year of service.
