Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (WARN), employers with 100 or more employees are required to provide 60 days' notice before a mass layoff or plant closing. Therefore, in this scenario, the employer must give the affected marketing employees 60 days' notice before the layoff. Option A is incorrect because severance pay is not required under federal law, but may be offered at the discretion of the employer. Option C is incorrect because there is no legal requirement for the employer to provide paid leave to find other jobs. Option D is incorrect because the WARN Act establishes certain requirements for employers.
