Reasonable Notice
As soon as a reduction in staff is decided, it is important to find out what “reasonable notice” applies to your employees. For some, The WARN Act (Workers Adjustment and Retraining) will apply, which requires 60 days written notice. If not covered by the WARN act, there isn’t a federal law that requires any notice as a majority (but it would be worth it to check to see if your state is one of the rare few that has a requirement).
If instead a department or function is shut down, employees might be asked to stay on for a period of time to help with the shutdown of those operations.
Rules for notification vary from state to state, it is important that you check with your state or government authorities.
