What Is New York’s WARN Act?
New York has many laws that were created to make sure that employees are protected from unscrupulous or illegal practices by employers. One of those laws is the WARN Act. The New York State Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act is another employee protection put in place in NY. The WARN Act helps employees who are facing layoffs by giving them as much time as possible to find new jobs and in some cases providing retraining or other tools that they can use to find new employment.
