As a small employer, do we have to provide any advance notice to employees if we are going to lay them off?
HRCalifornia
The answer to your question depends on whether your company is signatory to a collective bargaining agreement that would require advance notice to a union and/or whether your company is covered under the federal or state Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) acts.
In general, employers are covered under the federal WARN law if they have 100 or more full-time employees.
The state WARN Act is broader in that it applies to employers with 75 or more full- or part-time employees.
