NY WARN Act Emergency Rule Extended

Download PDFPrintShare

On May 12, the New York Department of Labor (NY DOL) extended the lifespan of its Emergency Rulemaking concerning the New York WARN Act through July 10, 2010. As addressed in prior issues and most recently in the March 1, 2010 special issue of the New Jersey eAuthority, the NY WARN Act differs from the federal WARN Act in many key respects, such as requiring 90 rather than 60 days’ notice, applying to employers with 50 rather than 100 employees, and covering certain job losses of 25 or more employees, rather than 50 or more employees.
