Bill overview
The Fair Warning Act of 2022 aims to protect workers facing employment losses by requiring employers to provide a significant advance notice before ordering site closures or mass layoffs. Specifically, employers must notify the Department of Labor, the state governor, and designated state entities at least 90 days in advance. The bill also clarifies definitions related to ‘employment loss,’ ‘mass layoff,’ and ‘site closing,’ and includes provisions for addressing potential exemptions due to unforeseen circumstances like natural disasters or terrorist attacks, as well as temporary layoffs. It also updates the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act to improve data collection and transparency.
