If employers covered by the ________ do not notify the employees (and their union, if applicable) of layoffs, they may have to offer back pay and fringe benefits and pay penalties as well.

A) Davis-Bacon Act
B) Workers' Adjustment Retraining and Notification Act
C) Right-to-Work Act
D) Employee Free Choice Act
E) Fair Labor Standards Act

The Workers' Adjustment Retraining and Notification Act (WARN Act) requires employers with 100 or more employees to provide at least 60 days' advance notice of plant closings and mass layoffs to affected employees or their representatives (such as a union). Failure to comply with the WARN Act can result in the employer having to offer back pay and benefits, in addition to paying penalties. The other options listed do not specifically require notification of layoffs or provide penalties for failure to do so.
