The news has been rather bleak on the employment front of late to say the least. A record 6.6 million Americans filed unemployment benefits claims last week, after nearly 3.3 million unemployment benefits claims were filed two weeks ago, up from just 200,000 one month ago. At the heart of this has been the spiraling number of business closings and temporary shutdowns taking place amid COVID-19.
On this podcast, Ford Harrison employment attorney Amy Turci joins XpertHR Legal Editor David Weisenfeld to discuss what employers need to know about the Worker Adjustment Retraining and Notification (WARN) Act, plant closings and temporary furlough issues. Turci is a member of her firm's Coronavirus Taskforce and practices with its Jacksonville, Florida, office.
