Are they offering the two month bonus to the company policy severance package this time around like they did back in October?

Georgia: Georgia does not have a mini-WARN Act for group layoffs, and although Georgia does not have a law requiring advance notice, the Georgia Department of Labor (GDOL) requires that when an employer separates or lays off 25 or more employees in an establishment on the same day for the same reason, that employer must provide the GDOL (closest to the company’s place of business) with a mass separation notice in duplicate and a list of workers within 48 hours of those separations, if the separations are either: permanent; for an indefinite period of time; or for an expected duration of a least seven (7) days. (Ga. Comp. R. & Regs. 300-2-4-.10(1))

Doubt it.
I was an engineer in rdc for 14 years. Was fired Friday. No severance. Did not include my accrued pto in my last paycheck. A$$wholes.
There are exceptions to the 60-day notice thing in the WARN Act. For example, if a hurricane demolished the Savannah facility and it was going to take a year to rebuild, they could lay everyone off without the 60 days notice. However, they would still be liable to pay everyone for those 60 days. The pandemic would qualify for a similar kind of "natural disaster" status. It's reasonable to assume that on March 1, GAC leadership was not seriously contemplating a layoff in May. I think the general concept of the WARN act is that you you get 60 days of pay/benefits between the time they announce the layoff and they no longer owe you anything. Kind of like how, when there's a small layoff, they give you two weeks pay in lieu of notice.
I agree, tripped the WARN ACT. 24 hrs notice given that was it
Did they trip the WARN act? I don't know that they did. There was no 30-day announcement like there was back in October.
No
It’s a sweet deal. I got it back in October. If you are one of the fortunate ones, congratulations to you?
By all indications they have tripped the WARN act so they would have to.
