Tennessee has its own layoff notice law on top of the federal WARN Act, the Tennessee Plant Closings and Reduction in Operations law. An employer has to satisfy both, so the stricter rule is the one that applies to you.
45%
of measured filings have a recorded date gap of at least 60 days
Measured across 87 filings where both the notice date and the layoff date are on record. Median 58 days. This does not determine legal compliance or notice received by workers.
Tennessee reaches smaller employers, those with 50 to 99 full-time employees, that federal WARN does not cover. It sets no fixed advance notice period; the employer must notify the commissioner when it notifies affected employees.
Federal WARN, for comparison, covers employers with 100 or more employees and requires 60 days notice.
WARN allows reduced notice for unforeseeable business circumstances, faltering companies seeking capital, and natural disasters. An employer relying on one of those has to say so in the notice. What the 55 percent figure shows is that the 60 days people expect is not what they typically get.
