YOUR RIGHTS ...You must receive a written notice 60 days before the date of a mass layoff or plant closing if you meet the conditions discussed in this brochure. If your employer does not give you the required notice, you may be able to seek damages for back pay and benefits for up to 60 days, depending on how many days’ notice you actually received.
Please refer to the following information to help you understand when WARN applies to the circumstances of your job loss.
An employer that violates the WARN Act notice requirement is liable to each affected employee for an amount equal to back pay and benefits for the period of violation up to 60 days.
EMPLOYEES PROTECTED BY WARN

• A mass layoff (see glossary)—where your employer lays off either between 50 and 499 full-time workers at a single site of employment and that number is 33% of the number of full-time workers at the single site of employment; or
• A situation where your employer (see glossary) lays off 500 or more full-time workers at a single site of employment.
