We had a company-wide potluck with door prizes yesterday. Then around noon we got an email saying anyone that doesn't work an average of 35 hours is part time and losing benefits and nobody under 30 hrs. would get company insurance. But I average 37-38 and only use vacation/holiday pay. It was about 4 o'clock and I had already left when my boss texted me that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsar4 Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 Illinois has a website called "WARN". Companies are required by state law to notify them so many days before large layoffs. Maybe your state has the same? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what Google gives me: While Arkansas has no layoff notice requirements of its own, state agencies assist in enforcing the requirements of the federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (WARN Act). The WARN Act imposes restrictions on the way layoffs are handled. Although I figure since we call for different organizations, some of which are charitable, they would probably have to let them know too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
