Does my employer have to warn me before mass layoffs in California?
Answer
Yes. The California WARN Act requires employers with 75+ employees to provide 60 days written notice before mass layoffs (affecting 50+ employees), plant closings, or significant business relocations. Failure to provide notice entitles affected workers to up to 60 days of back pay and benefits.
