How to use it

Your first 30 minutes

Step 1 is the WARN Act Compliance Guide, file 7; step 4 is the WARN Notice Letter Templates, file 3.

  1. Read 1 - WARN Act Compliance Guide first; it explains the rules everything else runs on.

  2. Open 2 - WARN Threshold and Aggregation Calculator in Microsoft Excel or a free equivalent such as LibreOffice, describe your site, and enter every planned and recent employment loss. The windows, the federal tests, and the state read update as you go.

  3. Use the Timeline and Notice Checklist tab to count back from your planned first separation.

  4. Open 3 - WARN Notice Letter Templates in Microsoft Word and have counsel review the plan and every letter before any date is set.

Before you buy

Clear answers to the practical questions.

The point of a product page is to let you judge the work before checkout.

What exactly do I receive?

5 PDF guides, 1 Word document, 1 Excel workbook, each one named in the What is inside section above. The purchase is a download, not a subscription, and the files are yours to keep.

Are these the real screenshots?

Yes. The preview images on this page are taken from the current deliverable, so you can judge the structure and writing before buying.

Can I use the files in my business?

The files are designed to be edited for your own internal operations. Review the included license and have legal counsel check decisions that require jurisdiction-specific advice.

What if I need help applying it?

Use the $149 Setup Session for one hour of implementation help on this tool. TrueStep HR does not offer broader consulting engagements. For a legal question, use qualified counsel.
