Twitter employees file lawsuit claiming mass layoffs violate federal law requiring notice (www.foxbusiness.com)

What is the penalty for breach of the Warn Act?PENALTIES FOR VIOLATING WARN An employer who violates WARN is liable to each affected employee for an amount equal to back pay and benefits for the period of violation, up to 60 days. This liability may be reduced by any wages the employer pays over the notice period. WARN liability may also be reduced by any voluntary and unconditional payment not required by a legal obligation. An employer who fails to provide notice as required to a unit of local government is subject to a civil penalty not to exceed $500 for each day of violation. The penalty may be avoided if the employer satisfies its liability to each affected employee within three weeks after the closing. In any suit, the court, in its discretion, may allow the prevailing party a reasonable attorney’s fee as part of the costs. Even in the case of a loss of the suit, Musk and Twitter are accentually unaffected.
