Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act
The federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act was enacted on August 4, 1988 and became law effective on February 4, 1989 providing protection to workers, their families and communities by requiring employers to provide a 60 day calendar notice in advance of covered plant closings and mass layoffs.  To learn more, read the summary of public law number 100-379 (S. 2527). Please note there are no additional legislative regulations imposed on employers by the State of Missouri.

For additional information on WARN Act requirements, contact your State Rapid Response Coordinator or call (800) 877-8698. More WARN information is available on-line from the U.S. Department of Labor Employment and Training Administration Fact Sheet.
