Compliance toolkit
WARN Act Compliance Toolkit
Before setting a reduction date, count planned and recent employment losses under WARN. The toolkit checks the 30-day and 90-day windows for every logged loss, flags each test as potential exposure for counsel, and drafts notices. Counsel determines what the law requires.
Start with the free WARN quick check. Answer questions about your site, timing, and state in your browser. You will get an exposure profile to review with counsel and a clearer view of whether notice may be required before buying the toolkit.
