The New York State Department of Labor (“NYS DOL”) issued updated regulations under the New York State Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act (“the Act”), which requires covered employers to provide 90 days’ advance notice in the event of plant closings, mass layoffs, relocations, or reductions in work hours. The updated regulations, which took effect on June 21, 2023, incorporate 2021 amendments to the Act and include additional clarifications, as well as requirements, for employers who trigger WARN notice obligations under the Act.
