Report Link New York Department of Labor Further Revises Its NY WARN Act Emergency Regulations.
Ogletree Deakins - August 13, 2009
The New York Department of Labor has further revised its Emergency Regulations concerning the NY WARN Act, as detailed in published comments in the July 15, 2009 NYS Register. As we have advised previously, the NY WARN Act is far broader in scope than the federal WARN Act, in that it covers smaller employers (those with 50 or more employees, as compared to 100 or more employees), smaller job losses (a mere 25 employees satisfy certain thresholds, as compared to 50) and requires 90, rather than 60, days advance notice of covered employment losses. Among the new changes and comments to the Emergency Regulations:

Ford & Harrison LLP - December 17, 2008
On February 1, 2009, the New York State Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act ("NYWA") goes into effect.

Report Link New York Passes State Version of "WARN"
Vedder Price - September 22, 2008
The Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notifi cation Act (WARN) is a federal law that requires employers who employ at least 100 employees to provide advance notice of plant closings and mass layoffs. Some states have enacted state versions of WARN which often cover employers too small to be covered by federal law. In August 2008 New York State became one of those states, enacting a state WARN law that becomes effective on February 1, 2009 and applies to private employers who employ 50 or more employees.
