Ohio Employees Need Protection Under the WARN Act

With that in mind, the WARN Act was sponsored by late U.S. Senator Howard Metzenbaum. His successor, Sherrod Brown, and other United States senators continue to champion the cause of protecting hard-working people in Ohio and throughout the country.

The Illinois WARN Act goes a further than the federal WARN Act in protecting the hard-working employees in Illinois from shut downs and mass layoffs. The Illinois WARN Act applies to:

  • Employers with only 75 or more full-time employees (the federal law requires 100)
  • Mass layoffs of only 25 or more full-time employees (the federal law requires 50) who are laid off if they constitute one-third or more of the full-time employees at the site, or
  • Shut downs or layoffs of 250 or more full-time employees (the federal law requires 500).
