A recent development serves as an alert for all employers contemplating a large-scale lay-off without prior notice. The Connecticut Attorney General is suing Walker Digital, owned by Priceline founder Jay Walker, charging that the company violated the federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Act (WARN) when it let 106 workers go without adequate notice in November. WARN applies to employers with at least 100 employees and requires a 60-day-notice (or pay for that period) before laying off 50 or more workers within a 30- day period. According to the attorney general, Walker could be liable for as much as $1 million in back pay, plus compensation for benefits.
