From the info I have been able to gather thus far, employees who were coded as 'office hybrid' in, for example, CA, were put on paid garden leave for 60 days prior to their separation date to meet WARN act requirements, but employees coded as 'remote hybrid' were not. They were given a separation date a week after being notified. That seems to violate the WARN act. https://www.nortonrosefulbright.com/en-us/knowledge/publications/d4a250ec/warn-act-counting-for-remote-employees

Look, I “exited” during this debacle, and I truly do not believe that UKG violated the WARN act as there seems to be severance pay to cover the notice period in each state. If you think that your personal case violated the WARN act, please consult an attorney. I think everyone is better off being angry at something else here though.
The severance pay and waivers in contract probably meet the requirements.
