Nebraska has its own layoff notice law on top of the federal WARN Act, the Nebraska WARN Act. An employer has to satisfy both, so the stricter rule is the one that applies to you.
Nebraska requires 90 days notice rather than 60 and uses a higher trigger of 100 affected employees with no percentage-of-workforce test. Enforcement is by state civil penalty only, with no private right of action.
Federal WARN, for comparison, covers employers with 100 or more employees and requires 60 days notice.
