Few attorneys have as much experience and expertise as does Raisner Roupinian LLP WARN practice, which has represented thousands of employees across the United States for over ten years.
Under Maryland state law, employers are asked to voluntarily comply with the state guidelines regarding mass layoffs. The law is intended to apply to employers that have been in business for at least one year. The guidelines recommend that 90 days’ advance notice be given by the employer when it plans to relocate a facility or lay off at least 25 percent of its workforce, or 15 employees, over any 3-month period. The voluntary guidelines also address continuation of health insurance and pension benefits and severance pay for the employees affected by relocations, layoffs, or shutdowns.
