Summary of differences between federal and state regulations
Effective April 10, 2023, the Millville Dallas Airmotive Plan Job Loss Notification Act (New Jersey’s latest mini WARN), covers employers with 100 or more employees regardless of hours of work or tenure.
The law governs a mass layoff, which is defined as a reduction in force impacting 50 or more employees at, or reporting to, a place of employment operated by an employer for longer than three years. This can be a single location or a group of locations in the state. Employers must include at all terminations at all establishments in the state, wherever located.
Employers must provide 90-day advance written notice before a covered mass layoff, termination of operations, or transfer of operations, resulting in the termination of 50+ employees in a 30-day (or aggregated 90-day) period.
Covered employers must pay each terminated employee a week of pay for each full year of service with the company. Employers that don’t provide 90 days’ advance notice must pay each impacted employee an additional four weeks’ severance pay.
The federal WARN Act requires employers with 100 or more full-time employees laying off at least 50 people at a single site of employment, or with 100 or more employees who work at least a combined 4,000 hours per week, to provide written notice at least 60 calendar days in advance of covered plant closings and mass layoffs.
