Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The legislation that requires employers to provide a 60-day warning period before closing facility or beginning massive layoffs is the WARN (Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification) Act. The ADEA (Age Discrimination in Employment Act) prohibits discrimination based on age, the EOE (Equal Opportunity Employment) Act prohibits discrimination based on various protected classes, and OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Act) establishes safety standards in the workplace. None of these laws specifically require a 60-day warning period for plant closings or mass layoffs.
