The #WARN Act requires many #employers to provide at least 60 days’ notice before implementing large-scale #layoffs or plant closures. This typically applies when a #business has at least 100 full-time #employees & lays off 50 or more employees at a single site.

Although #Volvo’s planned reduction appears close to this threshold, whether WARN obligations were triggered depends on the specific circumstances, including the timing & aggregation of the layoffs.
