If you anticipate a mass separation of your workers (that is, 25 or more workers to be laid off for a period of seven days or more), you must notify the Department 48 hours prior to the layoff.

Basic requirements pursuant to WARN legislation provides protection to workers, their families, and communities by requiring employers to provide notification 60 calendar days in advance of plant closings or mass layoffs.
