Summary of difference between federal and state regulations
Montana’s statutes that cover plant closings apply only to the state of Montana and government facilities having more than 25 employees.
Some plant closings or mass layoffs fall under the federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (WARN). Under WARN, employers are required to provide 60 days’ advance notice of covered plant closings and mass layoffs, notify the affected workers or their representatives, and the appropriate governmental units. See WARN for more information.
WARN does not preempt any other federal, state, or local law, or any employer/employee agreement that requires other notification or benefit. Rather, the rights provided by WARN supplement those provided by other federal, state, or local laws.
