Which Employers Are Covered?
The coverage rules under federal and state law differ.
Employers Covered by WARN
The WARN Act requires certain larger employers to give advance notice of mass layoffs or plant closings that will result in a certain number or percentage of employees losing their jobs. Employers are covered only if they have at least 100 full-time employees or at least 100 employees who work a combined 4,000 hours or more per week. (Full-time employees are defined as those who work at least 20 hours a week and have been employed for at least six of the 12 months ending on the date when notice must be given under WARN.)

Same in Jacksonville, NC. When my company closed they had to notify employees and the city that they were closing.

Job fairs, unemployment, food stamps, college entry information. It was very helpful, but Cuomo came out like a DICtator.
