Top Ten Things You Should Know About the WARN Act

1.	It's a well-kept secret that you may be owed 60 days wages and benefits when you are laid off.
2.	Many employees are entitled to receive 60 days advance written notice before they are laid off - but most times, the employer provides no notice whatsoever - employees are often herded into a room and marched out of the building.
3.	Because the WARN Act is not well-known, employers often ignore this law and assume employees will, too.
4.	Employees are often deprived of their WARN rights by signing releases when they are let go, which can be unfair.
5.	The WARN Act is very complicated; without legal assistance, it is often a challenge for both employers and employees to understand when it applies.
6.	There are only a few lawyers in the country who concentrate entirely on representing employees in WARN Act claims - litigating WARN claims is fraught with pitfalls and disappointments for attorneys who have little or no experience with the Act or bankruptcy litigation.
7.	When an employer files for bankruptcy, employees' wages and health benefits often cease - without any opportunity for continuation - the WARN Act can help recover those costs.
8.	Many employees believe that when an employer files for bankruptcy all is lost - with the help of a skilled WARN lawyer, that is not always the case.
9.	Bringing a WARN class action against a company with class action law firm should not cost any money - unless you prevail.
10.	Knowing what your rights are if you are laid off in this economic downturn is a good idea - although we hope you never need to use the information.
