Protecting Workers’ Rights Under the WARN Act in Delaware & Beyond

The WARN Act (Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act) is a federal law requiring employers to provide 60 days' notice before a mass layoff or plant closure. This law generally applies to employers with 100 or more full-time employees, where at least 50 employees are terminated or laid off at a single work site. If an employer fails to comply with this notice requirement, they may be liable to the affected workers for up to 60 days of compensation, including wages and the value of benefits.

Understanding WARN Act Violations in Delaware

While the federal WARN Act sets a minimum standard for worker protections, some states have additional WARN regulations offering more robust safeguards. In Delaware, the WARN Act is triggered if at least 50 employees are laid off at a single site or if the layoffs constitute a significant portion of the workforce. The Delaware WARN Act applies to any employer with 100 or more active employees. Employees who work less than 20 hours a week or have been employed for less than six months in the past year are excluded from this count.
