| Pending Layoff? |
The number of U.S. workers laid off from their jobs jumped 44% in the second quarter of this year compared with the same period last year, according to the Department of Labor. If you are facing the difficult decision to downsize your staff, these websites may help:
Employers who are considering a layoff can find information about requirements and possible assistance programs through the Department of Labor’s Dislocated Workers website (http://www.doleta.gov/layoff/employers01.asp#governmental).
Employers with more than 100 employees may be subject to the provisions of the The Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (WARN). Additional information for these companies is available at http://www.doleta.gov/programs/factsht/warn.asp.
