SETTLEMENT APPROVED
Raisner Roupinian LLP filed suit against ClearEdge Power Inc., and ClearEdge Power LLC (“ClearEdge”) on April 28, 2014, in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of California seeking to recover 60 days wages and benefits for former employees under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (“WARN”) Act. We contend ClearEdge ordered mass layoffs on or about April 25, 2014, without providing its employees with advance written notice.
On April 5, 2016, Judge Novack granted final approval of the WARN class action settlement in the amount of $1,300,217.43, and entered the Final Order. The settlement funds were distributed to the class members on May 3, 2016. Class members will have 90 days from the day of issuance to cash their checks.
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. 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.
