Class members had 120 days from the date of issuance of the settlement checks to deposit or negotiate them. Uncashed checks were donated to Georgia Legal Services Program, Inc. They are a non-profit organization providing access to justice and opportunities out of poverty for Georgians.

WARN ACT
Raisner Roupinian LLP will provide you with information regarding your rights in this WARN class action. The federal WARN Act requires companies with 100+ full-time employees to provide them with 60 days’ written notice in advance of a mass layoff or plant closing. Notably, certain states also have WARN Acts.
Without the required notice, an employer may be liable for 60 days’ wages and benefits to each affected employee.
