WARN - Wyoming

Summary of differences between federal and state regulations

The state of Wyoming does not have a law regarding plant closings. Employers having 100 or more employees (not counting employees who worked less than six months of the last 12 months and not counting employees who average less than 20 hours a week) are subject to the federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (WARN). Employers are required to provide 60 days’ advance notice of covered plant closings and covered mass layoffs. This notice must be given either to the affected workers or their representatives (e.g., a labor union) plus the State dislocated worker unit and the appropriate unit of local government.

However, Wyoming law does have a provision covering reduction in force affecting state officers and employees.
