PREVIOUS UPDATE
Raisner Roupinian LLP filed a class action complaint on May 4, 2023, in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey against JC USA, Inc. d/b/a Jenny Craig, seeking to recover 60 days’ wages and benefits for terminated employees under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (“WARN”) Act, California Labor Code (“CAL-WARN Act”), and the New Jersey Millville Dallas Airmotive Plant Job Loss Notification Act (“New Jersey WARN Act”).
Additionally, a claim was brought under the New Jersey WARN Act for damages to New Jersey-based employees for severance pay.
Subsequently, on May 5, 2023, JC USA, Inc., Jenny C Holdings, LLC, Jenny C Intermediate Holdings, Inc., Jenny C Acquisition, Inc., Craig Holdings, Inc., and JC Franchising, Inc. (the “Defendants”) filed for chapter 7 bankruptcy protection in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. On May 8, 2023, we transferred our class action to the Delaware Bankruptcy Court where it is currently pending.
We contend the Defendants ordered mass layoffs on or about May 4, 2023, and within 30 days of that date, without providing 60 days’ written notice as required by the federal and California WARN Acts, and 90 days’ notice as required by New Jersey WARN Act.
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 at least 100 full-time employees to provide them with 60 days’ written notice in advance of a mass layoff or plant closing. Additionally, 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.
