Read the evidence with its boundaries. These are saved research components, including revisions. A scoped coordinator review checks selected evidence; it does not certify every claim, a complete jurisdiction, current law or individual applicability. Dates and access limits remain attached to the records.
Research check date: October 27, 2026, America/Los_Angeles. The access checks occurred on October 28 UTC, corresponding to October 27 in Los Angeles. This investigation uses newly opened public sources. Earlier reports and conversations supply no premises.
The central distinction is between a covered employer, a qualifying employment-loss event, a person entitled to notice, and a remedy for a notice violation. These are separate inquiries. For example, a part-time employee can be excluded from the headcount used to establish a covered event and nevertheless be entitled to notice of that event. A statutory exemption from notice can also coexist with a requirement to count the worker when testing employer or event coverage. These distinctions follow from §2101 and §§639.3 and 639.6; they cannot be replaced by a business-size label or a statement that a certain number of jobs disappeared.

The complete selected statutory bodies and the complete Part 639 regulatory body were read, but currentness verification has specific limits. Official Code pages for §§2101, 2102 and 2109 displayed laws in effect through Public Law 119-134, October 20, 2026. The latest routes for §§2103–2108 were inaccessible; successful official alternatives displayed laws in effect through Public Law 119-120, October 7, 2026. The current eCFR displayed Title 20 as updated through October 26, 2026, while expressly identifying itself as an authoritative but unofficial compilation. An official April 1, 2025 CFR edition was also read. Those facts support the text findings below; they do not establish an exhaustive later-enactment, correction, or judicial-history audit. C001–C006, C106. uscode.house.gov+5

The following tables supply the provision-specific findings. They distinguish what the statute states, what the regulation adds or explains, and what remains an application or judicial question.
| Claim ID | Supported proposition and qualification | Exact authority / scope |
|---|---|---|
| R073-P1-C001 | The selected statutory organization is Title 29, Chapter 23, §§2101–2109. The selected regulatory organization is 20 CFR Chapter V, Part 639, §§639.1–639.10. | S001, all selected sections; S002, complete Part 639. |
| R073-P1-C002 | The Code currency is section-specific: the successful §2101, §2102 and §2109 pages display Oct. 20, 2026; successful §2103–§2108 alternatives display Oct. 7, 2026. A website-wide currency statement does not replace the latter labels. | S001; S012; failed routes S013. |
| R073-P1-C003 | The eCFR is the current official-publisher compilation, but expressly not an official legal edition. The April 1, 2025 annual CFR is an official historical edition. The Title-20-wide Oct. 19 amendment label does not establish a Part 639 amendment on that date. | S002, version/status statements. |
| R073-P1-C004 | The original Act became law Aug. 4, 1988. Section 11 uses a six-month effective-date interval, except immediate Secretary regulatory authority. The final-rule introduction identifies Feb. 4, 1989; the rule itself states May 22, 1989 effectiveness. Initial notice/application questions were expressly left to courts in its preamble. | S003 §11, 102 Stat. 895; S004, 54 FR 16042 and 16064, “(12) Effective Date.” |
| R073-P1-C005 | The State-recipient wording changed through the 1998 enactment/enacted transition and the 2014 WIOA amendment. The current statute refers to the State or its designated entity under §3174(a)(2)(A). Older JTPA/EDWAA wording remains in the displayed regulation. | S001 §2102(a)(2), notes; S005 §405(d)(26), (f)(18), (g); S006 §512(kk), §506; S002 §§639.3(k), 639.6(c). |
| R073-P1-C006 | Section 2107(a) authorizes regulations and specifically requires at least interpretative service regulations. Part 639 was issued as a final rule. Its preamble says the proposal’s description as “interpretative regulations” was removed from the final regulatory text. This report does not decide judicial deference or validity. | S001 §2107(a); S004, 54 FR 16043, §639.1(d) discussion. |
| R073-P1-C007 | Part 639 supplies basic definitions and broad notice rules while acknowledging that it cannot answer every industry-specific situation. Its policy encouragements do not themselves establish that every job loss is covered. | S002 §639.1(b), (c), (e); S001 §2106. |
| R073-P1-C008 | One employer-coverage route is a business enterprise employing at least 100 employees excluding part-time employees. | S001 §2101(a)(1)(A); S002 §639.3(a)(1)(i). |
| R073-P1-C009 | The alternative route requires at least 100 employees including part-time employees, who collectively work at least 4,000 hours per week, excluding overtime hours. The employee-count and aggregate-hours conditions are cumulative within this route. | S001 §2101(a)(1)(B); S002 §639.3(a)(1)(ii). |
| R073-P1-C010 | Workers temporarily laid off or on leave count as employees if they reasonably expect recall. The regulation ties that expectation to notification or industry practice indicating a temporary interruption and recall to the same or a similar job. | S002 §639.3(a)(1), following (ii). |
| R073-P1-C011 | Nonprofits of the requisite size are included. Regular federal, State, local and federally recognized tribal governments are excluded. Public or quasi-public business entities are included only with the stated business activity, separate organization, own governing body and independent personnel/assets authority characteristics. | S002 §639.3(a)(1). No actual governmental or organizational classification made. |
| R073-P1-C012 | Contractor/subsidiary relationships are assessed under existing legal rules and the degree of independence. Listed factors are common ownership; common directors/officers; de facto control; common-source personnel policies; and operational dependence. No single factor is declared automatically dispositive. | S002 §639.3(a)(2). The complete judicial relationship test remains held. |
| R073-P1-C013 | An employer can operate multiple employment sites under common ownership or control. The employer-coverage inquiry and the single-site event inquiry are therefore distinct. | S002 §639.3(a)(4), read with (b), (c), (i). |
| R073-P1-C014 | Non-part-time workers exempt from notice under §2103 still count in determining employer coverage and plant-closing/mass-layoff thresholds. Counting a worker does not establish that worker’s own notice entitlement. | S002 §639.3(a)(3), (c)(2). |
| R073-P1-C015 | “Part-time” means either an average of fewer than 20 hours weekly, or employment for fewer than six of the twelve months preceding the date notice is required. A worker with full-time hours can meet the short-tenure branch. | S001 §2101(a)(8); S002 §639.3(h). |
| R073-P1-C016 | For the average-hours branch, the measurement period is the shorter of actual employment or the most recent 90 days. The selected text does not supply a comprehensive rounding, partial-week or payroll-conversion convention. | S002 §639.3(h). No calculation performed. |
| R073-P1-C017 | Coverage headcount ordinarily uses the date the first notice is required. If clearly unrepresentative of ordinary/average employment, a more representative recent average or alternative date can be used in unusual circumstances, without evasion. The regulation does not prescribe a universal alternative averaging duration. | S002 §639.5(a)(2). |
| R073-P1-C018 | “Affected employees” are employees reasonably expected to experience an employment loss because of a proposed plant closing or mass layoff by their employer. | S001 §2101(a)(5); S002 §639.3(e). |
| R073-P1-C019 | Affected employees include managerial and supervisory employees. Business partners are excluded from that regulatory category. Ownership labels alone do not resolve another person’s employee status. | S002 §639.3(e). |
| R073-P1-C020 | Consultant/contract workers separately employed and paid by another employer, or self-employed, are not affected employees of the assigned business under this provision. A “gig,” contractor or self-employment label does not prove that the underlying relationship satisfies the exclusion. | S002 §639.3(e), read with (a)(2). |
| R073-P1-C021 | Identifiable workers likely to lose employment through bumping or other factors are included. If the eventual worker cannot be identified, notice goes to the incumbent in the eliminated position. For counting, the rule permits incumbents or, if known 60 days in advance, the actual employees who will suffer loss. | S002 §§639.3(e), 639.6(b). |
| R073-P1-C022 | Part-time employees are excluded from event-threshold counts but are due notice when they are affected employees of a covered action and no applicable notice exemption removes that duty. | S002 §639.6(b), read with §§639.3, 639.5(c)–(d). |
These provisions support neither universal exclusion of small-labeled businesses nor universal coverage of all people working at a location. The regulation’s separate-employer, government, recall, partner and assigned-worker qualifications must be preserved. uscode.house.gov+3
| Claim ID | Supported proposition and qualification | Exact authority / scope |
|---|---|---|
| R073-P1-C023 | An employment termination is an employment loss unless it is a discharge for cause, voluntary departure or retirement, subject also to the statutory exclusions. None of those factual characterizations is supplied. | S001 §2101(a)(6)(A), (b); S002 §639.3(f)(1)(i). |
| R073-P1-C024 | A layoff is an employment loss under the duration branch if it exceeds six months. A shorter layoff can later implicate the extension rule; it is not automatically exempt from every other loss category. | S001 §2101(a)(6)(B), §2102(c); S002 §§639.3(f)(1)(ii), 639.4(b). |
| R073-P1-C025 | A reduction in an individual’s hours is an employment loss if it is more than 50% during each month of a six-month period. An average across the period is not the stated test. The comparison-hours baseline and application conventions are not established for any worker. | S001 §2101(a)(6)(C); S002 §639.3(f)(1)(iii). |
| R073-P1-C026 | For termination/layoff purposes, reassignment to employer-sponsored retraining or job-search activities is not employment loss if it is not constructive discharge or another involuntary termination. This does not establish that any particular arrangement preserves employment. | S002 §639.3(f)(2). |
| R073-P1-C027 | Where relocation/consolidation causes the closing or layoff, a pre-event offer of transfer within reasonable commuting distance, with a break of no more than six months, supplies one loss exclusion. This branch does not expressly require acceptance. | S001 §2101(b)(2)(A); S002 §639.3(f)(3)(i). |
| R073-P1-C028 | The alternative transfer exclusion requires the same relocation/consolidation and pre-event-offer predicates, a different site regardless of distance, a break no longer than six months, and acceptance within 30 days of the offer or closing/layoff, whichever is later. | S001 §2101(b)(2)(B); S002 §639.3(f)(3)(ii). |
| R073-P1-C029 | The regulation describes relocation/consolidation as transferring a definable business—such as orders, product lines or operations—to a different site, resulting in a closing or mass layoff. Its reference to nonexistent §639.3(h)(4) is retained as a locator problem, not silently rewritten. | S002 §639.3(f)(4); S004, printed 16066/index 28. |
| R073-P1-C030 | A new assignment constituting constructive discharge is not treated as a transfer. Reasonable commuting distance depends on accessibility, roads, transportation and usual travel time, with local/industry context. There is no fixed mileage rule in these provisions. | S002 §639.5(b)(2)–(4). |
| R073-P1-C031 | In a business sale, seller responsibility runs through the effective date; purchaser responsibility follows. The statute deems the seller’s non-part-time employees at effectiveness to be purchaser employees immediately afterward. The regulation discusses the effective date and time. | S001 §2101(b)(1); S002 §639.4(c), §639.6 introductory text. |
| R073-P1-C032 | An empowered seller may notify as the buyer’s agent about definite buyer plans within 60 days of purchase; responsibility remains with the buyer. A technical sale-related termination does not itself require notice without actual covered employment loss, and the continuity provision creates no other employment rights. | S002 §639.4(c)(1)–(2); §639.6 introductory text. |
| R073-P1-C033 | A plant closing requires permanent/temporary shutdown of a single site, or one or more facilities/operating units within it, causing loss for at least 50 non-part-time employees at the site during any 30-day period. Effective cessation can be a shutdown even if some workers remain. A temporary shutdown still needs qualifying losses. | S001 §2101(a)(2); S002 §639.3(b). |
| R073-P1-C034 | A mass layoff is a reduction in force not resulting from a plant closing. At a single site in any 30 days, it requires at least 50 non-part-time losses and at least 33% of active non-part-time employees, or at least 500 non-part-time losses without the percentage requirement; other predicates remain. | S001 §2101(a)(3); S002 §639.3(c)(1). |
| R073-P1-C035 | A single site may be one location or contiguous locations, including a campus, industrial park or facilities across a street. One building may contain separate sites for separate employers. Location alone does not establish aggregation. | S002 §639.3(i)(1)–(2). |
| R073-P1-C036 | Noncontiguous buildings may form one site when reasonably proximate, used for the same purpose, and sharing staff and equipment. Noncontiguous locations without shared staff or operational purpose should not be combined under the stated rule. | S002 §639.3(i)(3)–(4). |
| R073-P1-C037 | Contiguous buildings of one employer are separate sites under the stated example/rule when management, products and workforces are separate. Common ownership alone is insufficient to erase those qualifications. | S002 §639.3(i)(5). |
| R073-P1-C038 | Traveling, outstationed and other workers whose primary duties are outside regular sites use the home-base, work-assignment or reporting site identified by §639.3(i)(6). No universal home-address rule for remote work is established here. | S002 §639.3(i)(6). |
| R073-P1-C039 | Foreign sites are not covered, while “U.S. workers” at those sites count toward employer coverage under the regulation. For WARN, “State” includes the 50 States, DC, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Definitions from other incorporated programs are not automatically substituted. | S002 §639.3(i)(7), (l). |
| R073-P1-C040 | Unusual organizational situations may require the residual single-site provision, but it cannot be used to evade notice. “Facility” means building(s); “operating unit” means an organizationally or operationally distinct product, operation or work function within/across facilities at a single site. | S002 §639.3(i)(8), (j). |
| R073-P1-C041 | The regulation directs looking ahead and behind 30 days to determine whether actions aggregate within any 30-day period. This does not create one enlarged 60-day event window. | S002 §639.5(a)(1)(i); S001 §2101(a)(2)–(3). |
| R073-P1-C042 | Section 2102(d) addresses two or more groups at one site, each below the specified minimum, whose combined losses exceed it within any 90 days, unless the employer demonstrates separate/distinct actions and causes, without evasion. The regulation instead says aggregate losses reach the minimum. Exact equality under this additional aggregation provision remains a text-reconciliation question. | S001 §2102(d); S002 §639.5(a)(1)(ii). No judicial conclusion supplied. |
The 30-day thresholds have inclusive wording. The additional 90-day provision must be analyzed separately, including its employer demonstration and the wording difference. No ratio is a measure of income replacement, affordability or damages. uscode.house.gov+2

| R073-P1-C043 | The employer anticipating the covered action bears the notice duty and decides who within its organization prepares and delivers notice. Selecting a sender does not establish compliance or shift the statutory duty to employees or a government recipient. | S002 §639.4 introductory text and (a); S001 §2102(a). |
| R073-P1-C044 | Ordinarily the employer may not order the covered action until the end of 60 days after serving written notice on the relevant representative—or each affected employee if unrepresented—and on the State/designated rapid-response entity and the chief elected local official. | S001 §2102(a)(1)–(2); subject to §2102(b)–(c), §2103. |
| R073-P1-C045 | WARN “representative” means an exclusive representative under NLRA §9(a) or §8(f), or Railway Labor Act §2. It does not mean any adviser, coworker, organization or self-designated agent. | S001 §2101(a)(4); S002 §639.3(d); limited cross-reference findings C095–C097. |
| R073-P1-C046 | Representative notice goes to the chief elected officer of the exclusive representative/bargaining agent. If different, copying the local union official is recommended. The statute and §639.6(a) use representation at notice; §639.6’s introduction refers to when notice is required. A change between those times is not resolved without further authority. | S001 §2102(a)(1); S002 §639.6 introductory text and (a). |
| R073-P1-C047 | A local-government unit must have the stated general-purpose, taxing, spending, corporate and police powers. If multiple units encompass the site, use the one receiving the highest directly paid local taxes in the preceding year; all directly paid local taxes are aggregated. An elected board’s chair is the regulatory recipient. | S001 §2101(a)(7), §2102(a) final sentence; S002 §639.3(g), §639.6(d). |
| R073-P1-C048 | The current State recipient is tied to statewide rapid-response activities. The selected WIOA provisions describe State/designated-entity activity with local boards and chief elected officials, information/access, emergency and coordinated assistance, and specified immediate contact triggers. These do not establish an individual cash award or completed service. | S001 §2102(a)(2); S011 §3174(a)(2)(A), §3102(51). |
| R073-P1-C049 | The regulation expressly uses 60 calendar days. For staged terminations, the first individual termination within the relevant 30/90-day period triggers the inquiry; each successive group receives its full notice period. The worker’s last employment day is the layoff date for this rule. | S002 §639.5(a)(1). |
| R073-P1-C050 | Notice must be specific. Voluntary notice earlier than 60 days that lacks required information must be supplemented with all required written information at least 60 days before the covered action, subject to applicable reduced-notice provisions. | S002 §639.7(a)(1)–(2), read with §639.9. |
| R073-P1-C051 | Conditional notice is permitted only for a definite event whose occurrence/nonoccurrence necessarily leads, in the normal course, to a covered closing or layoff less than 60 days later. It must contain the required elements. It is not permission for vague continuing warnings. | S002 §639.7(a)(3); published example separately registered at M025. |
| R073-P1-C052 | Notice uses the best information available when served. The regulation says later factual changes and minor inadvertent errors are not intended to establish a violation. It does not say every omission or misleading statement is immaterial. | S002 §639.7(a)(4); S004 preamble §639.1(d). |
| R073-P1-C053 | A stated separation date may be a particular date or a 14-day period. A schedule identifies the specific date or start of each period. When a period is used, notice must precede its first day by at least 60 days. | S002 §639.7(b). |
| R073-P1-C054 | Representative notice requires site name/address and company contact name/telephone; permanent/temporary and entire-plant-closure information; expected first separation and schedule; affected job titles and current workers’ names. | S002 §639.7(c)(1)–(4). Content categories described only; no notice drafted or entries supplied. |
| R073-P1-C055 | Unrepresented-employee notice must be understandable to employees and state permanent/temporary/full-closure status, event start and individual separation date, whether bumping rights exist, and company contact name/telephone. | S002 §639.7(d)(1)–(4). |
| R073-P1-C056 | Separate notices to the State unit and chief elected local official require site/contact information; permanent/temporary/full-closure status; first separation and schedule; affected job titles and counts by classification; bumping-rights indication; and union/chief-officer information. | S002 §639.7(e)(1)–(6), with current statutory recipient qualification in C005/C048. |
| R073-P1-C057 | The alternative abbreviated government notice contains site/contact information, first separation date and affected count. The remaining §639.7(e) information must be maintained onsite and readily accessible to those governments; unavailability when requested is deemed failure to give required notice. | S002 §639.7(f). No records request made or recommended. |
| R073-P1-C058 | The regulation permits useful additional assistance information and, when temporary action is expected, estimated duration if known. Such information is optional under these content provisions and is not itself proof of benefit eligibility. | S002 §639.7(c)–(e), concluding paragraphs. |
| R073-P1-C059 | Section 2107(b) accepts mailing to the employee’s last known address or inclusion in a paycheck. Section 639.8 accepts reasonable delivery designed to ensure receipt at least 60 days before separation, including first-class mail or personal delivery with an optional signed receipt. No mailing-date presumption or added mailing days are supplied here. | S001 §2107(b); S002 §639.8. |
| R073-P1-C060 | A routine preprinted “ticketed” notice included with every paycheck does not meet WARN’s notice requirement. | S002 §639.8, final sentence. |
| R073-P1-C061 | If the announced action is postponed beyond the stated date or the end of its 14-day period by less than 60 days, additional notice is required; it should be given as soon as possible, identify the prior notice, new date/period and reasons, and inform all affected recipients. | S002 §639.10 introductory text and (a). |
| R073-P1-C062 | A postponement of 60 days or more is treated as new notice under §§639.5–639.7. Routine rolling notices used without an impending event and with evasive intent are unacceptable. | S002 §639.10(b). |
| R073-P1-C063 | A layoff initially announced as six months or less but extended beyond six months is treated as employment loss unless unforeseeable-at-outset business circumstances cause the extension and notice is given when the extension becomes reasonably foreseeable. Otherwise the regulation treats loss as commencing at the original layoff. | S001 §2102(c)(1)–(2); S002 §639.4(b). |
Notice to a representative, notice to an individual, and the separate governmental notices have different content rules. Delivery, receipt, the first separation, an individual’s separation, an extension, and the employer’s order are not interchangeable events. uscode.house.gov+3

| R073-P1-C064 | The temporary-facility/project exemption requires a temporary facility closing or completion of a particular project/undertaking and affected employees hired with an understanding that employment was limited to its duration. | S001 §2103(1); S002 §639.5(c)(1). |
| R073-P1-C065 | The temporary nature must have been clearly understood at hiring. The employer bears the burden of showing communication; the regulation identifies contracts, collective agreements and industry/local practices as relevant evidence categories. | S002 §639.5(c)(2). No such evidence examined. |
| R073-P1-C066 | Recurring seasonal work may meet that exemption when the hiring understanding exists. Permanent employees working continuously across jobs are not exempt merely because the employer also uses temporary workers; a written label does not convert permanent work. A specific contract may be part of a continuing relationship rather than a temporary undertaking. | S002 §639.5(c)(3)–(4), including its published examples. |
| R073-P1-C067 | Section 2103(2) exempts a closing/layoff constituting a strike or a lockout not intended to evade WARN. The regulation describes a lawful tactical/defensive refusal to use employees during collective bargaining or a labor dispute, and rejects evasive subterfuge. | S001 §2103(2); S002 §639.5(d). |
| R073-P1-C068 | A closing for reasons unrelated to an ongoing strike/lockout is not covered by that exemption. WARN does not require notice when permanently replacing a person deemed an economic striker under the NLRA, but expressly does not validate or invalidate rulings on permanent replacements. | S001 §2103(2) and proviso; S002 §639.5(d). |
| R073-P1-C069 | Covered losses of nonstrikers at the same site, workers outside the relevant bargaining unit, and workers at other unstruck plants are not automatically exempt. A separate reduced-notice exception may apply if its own predicates are met. | S002 §639.5(d), complete qualifications. |
| R073-P1-C070 | For §639.9 exceptions, the employer bears proof of the conditions, must give as much notice as practicable to the required recipient categories, and must give a brief reason for shortening notice when notice is given, in addition to required content. Notice can sometimes be after the event. | S001 §2102(b)(3); S002 §639.9 introductory paragraphs. |
| R073-P1-C071 | The faltering-company exception applies to plant closings, not mass layoffs, is narrowly construed, and requires active capital/business seeking when the 60-day notice would have been required, with identifiable specific actions. | S001 §2102(b)(1); S002 §639.9(a), (a)(1). |
| R073-P1-C072 | Faltering-company predicates also include a realistic opportunity to obtain the capital/business; sufficiency to avoid/postpone shutdown for a reasonable time; and reasonable good-faith belief that notice would preclude obtaining it, supported objectively. Assessment is company-wide; a troubled site alone does not suffice where capital access/reserves defeat the asserted condition. | S002 §639.9(a)(2)–(4). No financing or business facts supplied. |
| R073-P1-C073 | The unforeseeable-business-circumstances route covers closings and mass layoffs caused by circumstances not reasonably foreseeable when notice would have been required. The regulatory standard is commercially reasonable judgment of a similarly situated employer; perfect prediction of general economic conditions is not required. | S001 §2102(b)(2)(A); S002 §639.9(b), (b)(2). |
| R073-P1-C074 | Sudden unexpected external action is an indicator. Published possibilities include unexpected major-contract termination, a major-supplier strike, an unanticipated dramatic downturn, or government-ordered closure without prior notice. The regulation says these may qualify; labels do not prove causation or unforeseeability. | S002 §639.9(b)(1). |
| R073-P1-C075 | Section 2102(b)(2)(B) says no notice is required for loss due to natural disaster, but adjacent (b)(3) imposes practicable notice for an employer relying on the subsection. Section 639.9(c) expressly requires direct causation, employer demonstration, and available practicable notice/content before or after loss. Indirect effects do not meet that disaster route, though the business-circumstances route may apply. | S001 §2102(b)(2)(B), (b)(3); S002 §639.9(c)(1)–(4). Floods, earthquakes, droughts, storms, tidal waves/tsunamis and similar effects are the published examples. |
A temporary-project exemption, a transfer exclusion from employment loss, and a reduced-notice exception have different predicates and consequences. Financial difficulty and a disaster label do not establish any of them. uscode.house.gov+3

| R073-P1-C076 | Employee liability under §2104(a)(1) requires an employer’s covered closing/layoff in violation of §2102 and an aggrieved employee’s resulting employment loss. “Aggrieved employee” means someone who worked for that employer and, because of its noncompliance, lacked timely notice directly or through a representative. | S001 §2104(a)(1), (7). |
| R073-P1-C077 | Back pay is for each day of violation at a compensation rate not less than the higher of the employee’s average regular rate during the last three years of employment or final regular rate. This supplies a statutory measure, not a computed daily amount. | S001 §2104(a)(1)(A)(i)–(ii). |
| R073-P1-C078 | The remedy includes benefits under a plan described in §1002(3), including incurred medical expenses that would have been covered absent the employment loss. A plan, expense or coverage determination is not supplied. | S001 §2104(a)(1)(B); S009; C098–C101. |
| R073-P1-C079 | Employee liability is calculated for the violation period, capped at 60 days and, independently, at one-half the days employed. The selected text does not resolve every compensable-day or rate-conversion question; no calendar-day/workday damages model is adopted. | S001 §2104(a)(1), final sentence; S004 preamble §639.1(d). |
| R073-P1-C080 | Wages paid by the employer for the violation period must reduce paragraph-(1) liability. | S001 §2104(a)(2)(A). |
| R073-P1-C081 | A voluntary, unconditional employer payment not required by a legal obligation must reduce paragraph-(1) liability. A payment called severance is not automatically in this category; voluntariness, conditions and legal obligation remain separate predicates. | S001 §2104(a)(2)(B). This clause does not repeat the express period limitation used in (A) and (C). |
| R073-P1-C082 | Employer payments to a third party/trustee on behalf of and attributable to the employee for the violation period must reduce paragraph-(1) liability; the statute gives health premiums and defined-contribution payments as examples. | S001 §2104(a)(2)(C). |
| R073-P1-C083 | Defined-benefit-plan liability may be reduced by service credit for all plan purposes during the violation period. This is distinct from the three mandatory payment reductions. | S001 §2104(a)(2), concluding sentence; S009 (34)–(35). |
| R073-P1-C084 | A violation respecting a local-government unit carries a statutory civil penalty not exceeding $500 for each day of violation. It does not apply if the employer pays each aggrieved employee the full amount of liability within three weeks from the order of shutdown/layoff. This is not $500 per employee or a general cure of all noncompliance. | S001 §2104(a)(3). No amount, inflation-adjustment theory or actual payment result calculated. |
| R073-P1-C085 | An employer must prove both good faith and reasonable grounds for believing its act/omission lawful to obtain the statutory opportunity for a reduction. Even then, reduction of liability/penalty is discretionary with the court. | S001 §2104(a)(4). |
| R073-P1-C086 | A person seeking to enforce the liability—including a representative or aggrieved local unit as stated—may sue for itself, similarly situated persons, or both, in a U.S. district where the violation allegedly occurred or the employer transacts business. This is not a completed standing, venue or class-procedure determination. | S001 §2104(a)(5). |
| R073-P1-C087 | A court may, in its discretion, award the prevailing party a reasonable attorney’s fee as part of costs. No automatic employee-only fee entitlement follows. | S001 §2104(a)(6). |
| R073-P1-C088 | Section 2104 provides the exclusive remedies for a WARN violation; a federal court has no authority under WARN to enjoin a closing or mass layoff. This is not a finding that every other source of relief is unavailable. | S001 §2104(b), read with §2105. |
| R073-P1-C089 | Enforcement is through courts. Part 639 states that DOL has no legal standing in WARN enforcement and does not issue advisory opinions deciding specific cases. The final-rule preamble leaves monetary-calculation and related enforcement questions to courts. | S002 §639.1(d); S004, 54 FR 16043, complete §639.1(d) discussion. |
| R073-P1-C090 | WARN rights/remedies supplement other statutory and contractual rights. Notice periods run concurrently. The regulation permits collective agreements to clarify/amplify WARN terms but not reduce WARN rights. | S001 §2105; S002 §639.1(g). No complete state-law or contractual analysis. |
| R073-P1-C091 | Notice given in good-faith compliance with WARN does not constitute a violation of the NLRA or RLA. That protection has an express good-faith-compliance condition and does not immunize unrelated conduct. | S001 §2108. |
| R073-P1-C092 | Section 2106 expresses congressional encouragement for possible notice even when §2102 does not require it. It does not erase coverage thresholds or create a universal compensable notice violation. | S001 §2106; S002 §639.1(c), (e). |
| R073-P1-C093 | Section 2109 directs a Comptroller General report two years after Aug. 4, 1988, examining specified effects of WARN. It is a historical governmental reporting requirement, not a worker’s filing period or compensation entitlement. | S001 §2109; S003 §10. |
| R073-P1-C094 | The selected WARN statute and Part 639 do not state a universal limitations period for filing a WARN action. This pass supplies none and does not import a deadline from another labor statute. | Complete selected S001/S002 read; judicial borrowing/tolling and procedural regimes excluded. |
The remedy provisions do not authorize a worker to deduct a supposed WARN amount from another debt, withhold payment, treat funds as protected, or assume recovery. They also do not convert damages offsets into a general permission to substitute payment for compliant notice. The preamble specifically declined to settle those enforcement questions by regulation.

| R073-P1-C095 | NLRA §159(a) makes a representative selected/designated by a majority of employees in an appropriate unit exclusive for collective bargaining. Its individual/group grievance provisos require consistency with the operative collective agreement and an opportunity for the representative to be present. These are not alternative WARN notice-recipient rules. | S007 §159(a), complete. |
| R073-P1-C096 | Section 158(f) is a specialized construction-industry agreement provision: it addresses unestablished majority status, specified membership timing, hiring notice/referrals, and training/experience/service preferences. It retains the final §158(a)(3) proviso and does not bar §159(c)/(e) petitions where validity depends on clause (1). WARN’s reference does not generalize this provision to every worker or industry. | S007 §158(f), all clauses/provisos; §158(a)(3) final proviso. |
| R073-P1-C097 | RLA representatives are designated without interference/coercion; employee representatives need not themselves work for the carrier. A craft/class majority chooses its representative; Ninth supplies a disputed-representation mechanism. None of that establishes a representative’s identity or converts RLA procedural periods into WARN periods. | S008 Second–Fourth and Ninth. |
| R073-P1-C098 | ERISA §1002(3) defines employee benefit plan as a welfare plan, pension plan, or both. WARN’s benefit remedy incorporates that category; it is not limited by a casual label such as “insurance” or “retirement.” | S009 §1002(3); S001 §2104(a)(1)(B). |
| R073-P1-C099 | Section 1002(1) requires an employer/employee-organization established or maintained plan, fund or program for specified participant/beneficiary purposes. Listed purposes include medical and specified contingency benefits, vacation, training, day care, scholarships and prepaid legal services; its §186(c) branch excludes the specified retirement/death pensions and insurance providing them. Full §186(c) plan classification remains held. | S009 §1002(1), complete; nested regime not declared satisfied. |
| R073-P1-C100 | Section 1002(2) covers retirement income or income deferral to termination/beyond, regardless of calculation/distribution method, with its age-62 in-service-distribution qualification. It preserves regulatory welfare treatment of specified severance/supplemental arrangements, the anti-evasion qualification, specified IRC §457 arrangements, and pooled-plan treatment. These do not establish a supplied plan or payment right. | S009 §1002(2)(A)–(C), complete. Full tax/plan regimes held. |
| R073-P1-C101 | Section 1002(34) describes individual-account/defined-contribution benefits based on contributions and allocated income, expenses, gains, losses and forfeitures. Paragraph (35) defines other pension plans as defined-benefit plans, with purpose-specific treatment for hybrid separate-account benefits under the named ERISA provisions. | S009 §1002(34)–(35), complete. No plan calculation. |
| R073-P1-C102 | The Oct. 15, 2026 amendment examined in S010 changes §1002(18), not the selected plan-definition paragraphs. Its application clause concerns specified determinations on/after enactment. This narrow check does not certify all later ERISA history. | S010 §2(a)–(b); S012 Title 29 entries. |
| R073-P1-C103 | The WIOA amendment’s general effective trigger is the first day of the first full program year after enactment. The original program-year text starts that year July 1; the Code note identifies July 1, 2015 for the WARN amendment. Youth funding availability and other §506 transitions are not a different WARN notice period. | S006 §506, §189(g)(1); S001 §2102 effective-date note. |
| R073-P1-C104 | The stale transfer locator and old State-unit references must remain disclosed. The current statute directly establishes the WIOA-linked recipient; this pass does not certify that using the regulation’s historical Governor-transition route would satisfy an actual present notice obligation. | C005, C029; S001 §2102(a)(2); S002 §§639.3(f)(4), (k), 639.6(c). |
| R073-P1-C105 | No actual headcount, fraction, hours reduction, period, deadline or remedy is computed. Necessary classifications and measurement inputs are absent; some counting/compensable-day conventions and the 90-day equality issue are unresolved within this pass. | C015–C017, C025, C042, C049, C079; M register below. |
| R073-P1-C106 | Failed source access supports only an access finding. Current compilation labels, source credits and a selected classification-table check are not an exhaustive enactment, correction or judicial audit. | S001–S014 and failure log. |
| R073-P1-C107 | The selected framework establishes conditional notice duties and remedies for violations. It does not, on its own, establish unemployment eligibility, severance, guaranteed income, protected funds, a debt moratorium, tax treatment, bankruptcy treatment, debt settlement rights or actual collection. | S001 §§2102–2106; S002 §§639.1–639.2; scope-limited inference, not a survey of other law. |
| R073-P1-C108 | The regulation’s own quantitative illustrations include 10 permanent/40 temporary workers with 10 notice recipients, 50 businesses/50 sites in a building, and a conditional-notice example using 30 days after contract expiration. They are published generic illustrations, not facts supplied or invented for this report. | S002 §§639.3(c)(2), 639.3(i)(2), 639.7(a)(3). Their predicates remain necessary. |
| Mechanism | Actor and cumulative legal inquiry | What the text can establish conditionally | What it does not establish here | Claims / sources |

| Employer coverage | Business enterprise; one of the two employee/hour routes; proper worker counting; relevant business relationships and snapshot. | Whether WARN’s employer definition is met. | A covered event, an individual’s notice right, liability or ability to pay. | C008–C017; S001 §2101(a)(1), (8); S002 §§639.3(a), (h), 639.5(a)(2). |
| Individual employment loss | Termination, duration of layoff or individual hours reduction; exclusions and transfer/sale qualifications. | Whether a loss is counted under the selected category. | Event-level threshold, unlawful termination, severance or unemployment eligibility. | C023–C032, C063; S001 §2101(a)(6), (b), §2102(c); S002 §§639.3(f), 639.4. |

Application facts are absent for every row. A source-stated quantity is not an actual headcount, elapsed period, amount owed or due date. “Days” are called calendar days where the selected regulation expressly does so; this report does not supply an unexamined weekend, holiday, mailing, month-conversion or rounding rule.
| Measure | Exact quantity, boundary and unit | Subject, base, reference event and cumulative conditions | Missing application inputs / limits | Claim / exact source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| M001 | ≥100 employees | Employer route A; exclude part-time workers. | Worker status, employer boundary, snapshot, exclusions. | C008; §2101(a)(1)(A); §639.3(a)(1)(i). |

| M003 | <20 average hours/week | One part-time branch. Equality at 20 does not satisfy this branch. | Actual hours, applicable averaging span; no added rounding convention. | C015–C016; §2101(a)(8); §639.3(h). |
| M004 | <6 of preceding 12 months | Alternative part-time branch; lookback ends when notice is required. Equality at six does not satisfy this branch. | Employment history and notice-required reference event; no assumed continuous-service rule. | C015; same provisions. |
| M005 | Shorter of actual employment or most recent 90 days | Average-hours measurement span. | Employment duration, hours and partial-week treatment. | C016; §639.3(h). |

| M007 | ≥50 non-part-time losses in any 30 days | Plant closing at one site; shutdown/site/unit predicates also required. | Site, shutdown, individual losses, event dates and worker categories. | C033; §2101(a)(2); §639.3(b). |
| M008 | ≥50 losses and ≥33%, in any 30 days | Mass-layoff lower-count route; numerator non-part-time losses; denominator active non-part-time employees at site; not a plant closing. 33%, not an assumed one-third convention. | Active denominator, numerator, snapshot, site and loss character. | C034; §2101(a)(3); §639.3(c)(1). |
| M009 | ≥500 non-part-time losses in any 30 days | Alternative mass-layoff route removes the percentage condition, not other predicates. | Same-site losses and remaining event conditions. | C034; same provisions. |
| M010 | >6 months | Individual layoff-duration branch. Exactly six months does not satisfy this branch alone. | Start, expected/actual duration and extension conditions. | C024, C063; §2101(a)(6)(B); §2102(c); §639.4(b). |
| M011 | >50% in each month of any 6-month period | Individual hours reduction; every month must meet the strict percentage comparison. | Comparison-hours baseline, individual hours and month boundaries. No averaging across months supplied. | C025; §2101(a)(6)(C); §639.3(f)(1)(iii). |
| M012 | Break ≤6 months | Reasonable-commuting-distance transfer; offered before event; relocation/consolidation causal predicate. | Valid offer, site, commuting circumstances and employment break. | C027; §2101(b)(2)(A); §639.3(f)(3)(i). |

| M014 | Two or more groups; any 90 days; each below minimum | Statute: aggregate exceeds minimum. Regulation: aggregate reaches minimum. Employer’s separate/distinct actions-and-causes/no-evasion demonstration also matters. | All losses, dates, groups, causes; exact-equality reconciliation unresolved. | C042; §2102(d); §639.5(a)(1)(ii). |
| M015 | Look 30 days ahead/behind and 90 days ahead/behind | Screening actions for any qualifying 30- or 90-day window; not a newly enlarged combined window. | Event sequence and appropriate aggregation provision. | C041–C042; §639.5(a)(1)(i)–(ii). |

| M017 | Published 10 permanent / 40 temporary / 10 notice recipients | Regulation’s illustration of counting exempt non-part-time workers while distinguishing recipients; not a supplied workforce. | All underlying published predicates; no new example constructed. | C014, C108; §639.3(c)(2). |
| M018 | Published 50 businesses / 50 sites in one building | Illustrates separate-employer sites, not an independent event threshold. | Separate-employer/site relationships. | C035, C108; §639.3(i)(2). |
| M019 | 50 States, plus named federal-regulatory inclusions | WARN “State” definition also names DC, Puerto Rico and U.S. Virgin Islands. | Actual jurisdiction absent; no full territorial-law inquiry. | C039; §639.3(l). |
| Measure | Exact quantity, boundary and unit | Subject, trigger and qualification | Missing application inputs / limits | Claim / exact source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| M020 | Ordinary ≥60 calendar days | Advance notice of covered action, subject to statutory exemptions/reductions. Statute measures an end-of-60-day interval after service. | Valid service, receipt design, event and exception facts. | C044, C049; §2102(a); §§639.1(a), 639.5(a)(1), 639.8. |
| M021 | Full 60 days for each successive group | First individual termination in relevant 30/90-day period triggers the staged inquiry; last employment day is layoff date. | Individual/group separation dates. | C049; §639.5(a)(1). |
| M022 | Buyer’s definite plans within 60 days of purchase | Seller may act as empowered agent; buyer retains responsibility. | Sale effectiveness, authority and definite plans. | C032; §639.4(c)(1). |
| M023 | Preceding year | Select local recipient by highest directly paid aggregate local taxes for year before determination year. | Taxing units, directly paid taxes, reference year. | C047; §2102(a); §639.3(g). |
| M024 | Earlier voluntary notice >60 days; complete information ≥60 days before action | Early incomplete notice must be completed in writing for required recipients. | Content, delivery and action facts; §639.9 qualification preserved. | C050; §639.7(a)(2). |
| M025 | Conditional event produces loss <60 days later; published example 30 days after contract expiry, with notice ≥60 days before projected closing | Definite contingency and necessary ordinary-course consequence; all content required. | Definite event, necessary consequence, timing/content. Published figures are not a new model. | C051, C108; §639.7(a)(3). |
| M026 | 14-day period, notice ≥60 days before first day | Permitted separation-date format; each period in a schedule has its identified beginning. | Intended period, first day and compliant notice. | C053; §639.7(b). |
| M027 | Initially ≤6 months, extension >6 months | Extension caused by circumstances unforeseeable at outset; notice when extension becomes reasonably foreseeable. Otherwise loss from commencement. | Initial expectation, cause, foreseeability and notice. | C063; §2102(c); §639.4(b). |
| M028 | Postponement <60 days | Beyond announced date/end of 14-day period: additional notice as soon as possible, with specified information. | Original notice, extension length and possibility of notice. | C061; §639.10(a). |
| M029 | Postponement ≥60 days | New notice under §§639.5–639.7; equality at 60 belongs here. | Same facts; no evasion through rolling notice. | C062; §639.10(b). |
| M030 | Reduced notice <60 days; as much as practicable, possibly after event | Employer proves applicable exception and gives brief basis when notice is given; disaster content qualification preserved. | Cause, foreseeability, financing predicates where relevant, practicability and explanation. | C070–C075; §2102(b); §639.9. |
| M031 | “Immediately” after notification/awareness; “as soon as possible” reemployment objective | WIOA rapid-response function: State notified of current/projected permanent closure or mass layoff, or aware of disaster-related mass dislocation. | Government awareness and applicable function; no fixed-hour payment promise. | C048; §3102(51). |
| Measure | Exact quantity, boundary and unit | Subject, base and trigger | Exceptions, unknowns and limits | Claim / exact source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| M032 | Compensation rate not less than higher of average regular rate over last 3 employment years or final regular rate | Back pay for each day of violation. | Actual rates, employment span and conversion/compensable-day questions absent. | C077; §2104(a)(1)(A). |
| M033 | Violation period, ≤60 days, and ≤½ days employed | Employee liability under §2104(a)(1); both caps apply. | Actual violation/employment days; no asserted universal calendar-day damages rule. | C079; §2104(a)(1), concluding sentence. |
| M034 | Benefits and qualifying incurred medical expenses | Statutory benefit measure, not a fixed national amount. | Plan category, coverage, incurred costs and causation. | C078; §2104(a)(1)(B). |
| M035 | Wages for violation period; voluntary unconditional legally unrequired payments; attributable third-party payments for violation period | Three mandatory monetary reductions under separate clauses. The middle clause does not repeat the express period language of the other two. | Payment character, legal obligations, conditions, attribution and timing. | C080–C082; §2104(a)(2)(A)–(C). |
| M036 | Service credit for all plan purposes during violation period | Possible defined-benefit liability reduction. | Plan type, credit and effect; no actual pension computation. | C083; §2104(a)(2), last sentence. |
| M037 | ≤$500 per day | Statutory local-government-notice civil penalty. Not stated as per employee. | Violation days, penalty exception and court discretion. The employee-liability 60-day cap is not silently imported into this paragraph. | C084–C085; §2104(a)(3)–(4). |
| M038 | Within 3 weeks from employer’s shutdown/layoff order | Payment to each aggrieved employee of that employee’s liability eliminates the paragraph-(3) penalty. | Order event, full payment and recipients; not a general claim-filing deadline. | C084; §2104(a)(3). |
| M039 | “Reasonable” attorney’s fee; no fixed schedule | Prevailing party, judicial discretion, as part of costs. | Prevailing status, fee evidence and judicial decision. | C087; §2104(a)(6). |
| M040 | 2 years after Aug. 4, 1988 | Comptroller General report under §2109. | Historical government reporting; no worker claim period inferred. | C093; §2109. |
| M041 | 6 months after enactment, except immediate regulatory authority | Original WARN effectiveness. Final-rule introduction states Feb. 4, 1989; original initial-notice application issue remains bounded by S004’s reservation. | No historical employer event supplied; no new date calculation. | C004; PL 100-379 §11; 54 FR 16042, 16064. |
| M042 | Final rule: signed Apr. 13, 1989; published Apr. 20; effective May 22 | Distinct issuance/publication/effectiveness events. | No exhaustive correction chain certified. | C004, C106; S004. |
| M043 | Oct. 21, 1998 and July 1, 2000 | Separate effective stages of the two State-recipient amendments. | Historical clauses; not alternative present filing routes. | C005; S005 §405(g)(1), (2)(B). |

These quantities were encountered in the narrowly selected cross-reference text. They are recorded to prevent importing them as WARN thresholds or deadlines.
| Measure | Cross-reference quantity | Exact limited role and exclusion from WARN measurement |
|---|---|---|
| M046 | Majority of employees in an appropriate unit | NLRA §159(a) representative selection; not the WARN 33% event ratio. Grievance provisos remain. C095; S007. |
| M047 | After the seventh day following the later employment/agreement event | Specialized §158(f)(2) construction-agreement membership provision, subject to all §158(f) conditions and provisos; not seven-day WARN notice. The read §158(a)(3) context also contains a thirtieth-day rule and a preceding-one-year election condition; neither is adopted as a WARN measure. C096; S007. |
| M048 | RLA Ninth: 30 days after invocation; possible three-person committee and 10 days; three or more ballot options and a second election if none obtains a majority | Disputed-representative machinery only. No actual invocation, election, representative or WARN deadline established. C097; S008. |
| M049 | Age 62 | §1002(2)(A)’s qualification prevents the specified in-service distribution fact alone from defeating retirement-income characterization. It is not WARN eligibility, a supplied age, or a retirement-withdrawal recommendation. C100; S009. |
| M050 | After the first program year of allotment | §3174(a)(2)(A)(ii) permits specified additional uses of unobligated State rapid-response funds; it does not state a household/worker award amount or WARN deadline. C048; S011. |
No numerical or symbolic application model is provided. In particular, the unresolved aggregation equality issue, hours baseline, classification inputs and remedy-day conventions make an applied formula inappropriate.

| Branch | Supported conditional rule and source links | Missing evidence or authority | Adverse inference to avoid | Next permissible generic public-law inquiry | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| B01 — Employer coverage unknown | Apply the business-enterprise definition and either coverage route, with category exceptions. C008–C013; S001 §2101(a)(1), S002 §639.3(a). | Legal employer category, relationships, count. | “Business” or “small business” establishes coverage or exclusion. | Read any later published amendment to the employer definition or §639.3(a). | A/H |
| B02 — Worker count/hours unknown | Route A excludes part-time workers; route B includes them but also requires the aggregate-hours condition. C008–C010; M001–M002. | Worker classifications, recall expectations, hours and reference date. | One headcount answers both routes; overtime counts toward 4,000. | Examine generic published interpretation of aggregate non-overtime weekly hours. | A/H |
| B03 — Part-time status | Either the hours or short-tenure branch suffices; shorter actual/90-day averaging applies to hours. C015–C016; M003–M005. | Employment span, hours and notice-required event. | Full-time payroll label necessarily defeats WARN part-time status. | Examine any official clarification of partial-week averaging without supplying worker data. | A/H |
| B04 — Employer threshold versus event threshold | Employer size and site-level employment-loss tests are cumulative but different. C008–C017, C033–C034; S001/S002. | Employer scope and qualifying losses at a site. | Meeting 100 employees proves a covered layoff, or 50 losses alone proves employer coverage. | Compare the exact employer and event definitions in any later operative amendment. | A/H |
| B05 — Single-site issue | Apply geography, common purpose/staff/equipment, separate management/workforces and unusual-structure qualifications. C035–C040; §639.3(i)–(j). | Site and operational classification; disputed legal treatment. | All facilities of one owner are one site, or one building always is one site. | Read official generic clarification of the particular single-site category, without identifying a site. | A/H |
| B06 — Traveling/outstationed work | The home-base/assignment/reporting provision governs its stated worker categories. C038; §639.3(i)(6). | Nature of primary duties and legal site attribution. | Every home or every remote worker is a separate site. | Ask whether a later public rule specifically addresses remote-work site attribution. | A/H |
| B07 — Separated actions/aggregation | Examine any 30 days and the additional qualified 90-day rule; preserve separate/distinct causes and non-evasion. C041–C042; M014–M015. | Complete event categories/sequence; legal reconciliation at equality. | Separating actions automatically avoids coverage, or the 90-day text has an uncontested equality rule. | Seek a published statutory/regulatory correction or generic official explanation of “exceed” versus “reach.” | P/U |
| B08 — Temporary layoff/hours reduction | Duration exceeding six months and >50% reduction in every relevant month are distinct routes; extension conditions matter. C024–C025, C063. | Duration, individual hours, baseline, causation and foreseeability. | A short layoff label permanently prevents loss status; a six-month average is sufficient. | Read generic official clarification of the hours baseline and extension trigger. | A/H |
| B09 — Transfer, retirement or other termination exclusion | Apply the exact exclusion category and its cumulative conditions; transfer must not be constructive discharge. C023, C027–C030. | Voluntariness, cause, retirement characterization, transfer conditions and legal standards. | Every reassignment, retirement label or declined offer eliminates WARN rights. | Examine public generic authority clarifying the relevant exclusion; keep judicial application held. | A/H |
| B10 — Sale of business | Seller/buyer timing and statutory employee continuity matter; technical termination alone does not establish covered loss. C031–C032. | Sale effectiveness, actual loss category and agency authority. | Every sale creates notice rights or erases them; agent notice transfers liability. | Read any later generic amendment/interpretation of §2101(b)(1) and §639.4(c). | A/H |
| B11 — Temporary project/seasonal work | Exemption requires the facility/project condition and hiring understanding; permanent work and continuing relationships remain distinct. C064–C066. | Legal project character and communicated hiring understanding. | Seasonality or a written temporary label is automatically enough. | Examine generic official interpretation of recurring seasonal work versus ongoing employment. | A/H |
| B12 — Strike/lockout | Exemption is bounded; nonstrikers, unrelated actions and other plants require separate analysis. C067–C069. | Labor-event classification, cause, unit and evasion predicates. | Any strike somewhere eliminates all related notice duties. | Re-read complete published strike/lockout qualifications; do not seek a real dispute. | A/H |
| B13 — Notice recipient category | Employee/representative, State-designated entity and local official duties are distinct. C044–C048. | Representation, government designation and local-government category. | Notice to one category satisfies every category. | Read any current generic amendment addressing recipients or State-unit nomenclature. | A/H |
| B14 — Represented versus unrepresented | Exclusive representation determines the employee-facing recipient route and content. C045–C046, C054–C055, C095–C097. | Legally valid representation and the relevant time. | Any adviser qualifies, or mailing all workers necessarily substitutes for representative notice. | Clarify the statutory “time of notice” and regulatory “time required” language through public generic authority. | P/U |
| B15 — Content/service/trigger absent | Required content and reasonable delivery designed for timely receipt are independent conditions. C049–C060. | Content, sender, delivery, receipt design and event facts. | A generic announcement, routine paycheck insert or content checklist is completed service. | Examine official generic service instructions and any subsequent regulation; no notice drafted. | A/H |
| B16 — Staged actions | Each group retains the ordinary notice period; the first individual termination triggers the staged inquiry. C049; M021. | Group sequence and loss dates. | One notice date automatically suffices for every later separation. | Review any generic official treatment of staged employment losses. | A/H |
| B17 — Conditional notice | Definite contingency and necessary <60-day consequence are required, with complete content. C051; M025. | Definite event and necessary consequence. | An indefinite risk warning is compliant conditional notice. | Read any official generic clarification of definiteness under §639.7(a)(3). | A/H |
| B18 — Postponement/extension | Less-than-60 and at-least-60 postponements receive different additional-notice treatment. C061–C063; M027–M029. | Original notice, revised event and length/cause of change. | Repeated rolling notices preserve compliance indefinitely. | Examine any amended §639.10 or official generic clarification of schedule changes. | A/H |
| B19 — Faltering-company exception | Closing only; active efforts, realistic opportunity, sufficient capital/business and objective reasonable good faith are cumulative. C071–C072. | Every financing/business predicate and company-wide context. | Financial hardship alone excuses notice, or this route covers every mass layoff. | Read any later published amendment or generic interpretation of §639.9(a). | A/H |
| B20 — Unforeseeable circumstances | Causation and foreseeability at the notice-required point matter; commercial reasonableness governs. C073–C074. | Cause, prediction context and timing. | A sudden-event label proves the defense. | Examine generic official explanation of the foreseeability standard without selecting an actual event. | A/H |
| B21 — Natural disaster | Direct causation and practicable available notice remain necessary under the regulatory text. C070, C075. | Directness, available information and practicability. | A disaster produces automatic zero-notice immunity. | Examine any official clarification of §2102(b)(2)(B) alongside (b)(3), without location/event queries. | A/H |
| B22 — Burden/explanation/practicability | Employer bears the regulatory burden; brief basis accompanies actual reduced notice, with required content qualifications. C070–C075. | Demonstration, explanation and feasible notice circumstances. | Merely naming an exception establishes it; after-event notice always suffices. | Review published generic explanation of what the statutory brief basis must convey. | A/H |
| B23 — Remedy formula and offsets | Liability depends on violation/loss and uses separate pay, benefit, duration and reduction provisions. C076–C084; M032–M038. | Violation, rates, employment days, benefits, payment character and unresolved day conventions. | Every worker is owed 60 days; all severance offsets; penalty is per employee. | Identify whether later public statutory/regulatory text resolves the particular measurement issue; judicial merits remain held. | A/H |
| B24 — Judicial discretion and enforcement | Good faith/reasonable grounds may support discretionary reduction; fees and litigation provisions have their own predicates. C085–C089, C094. | Standing, venue, prevailing status, court findings and applicable procedural law. | DOL decides damages, fees are automatic, or a universal filing period was supplied. | Examine generic public procedural authority only in a separately authorized component. | A/H |
| B25 — Other-law/contract rights | Additional rights are preserved, notice periods concurrent, collective agreements cannot reduce WARN rights. C090–C092. | Independently applicable law/agreement and its actual terms—all held. | WARN displaces every other right or adds its period consecutively to all others. | Identify a separate generic other-law component without examining an agreement. | A/H |
| B26 — Official-currentness gap | Latest failed pages, older accessible labels and uncompleted correction history remain distinct. C002–C006, C106; S012–S014. | Latest bodies for specified sections; full correction body and later-law chain. | Failed access proves repeal, or the host’s current date authenticates every page. | Reopen the official current section bodies and actual correction instrument through ordinary public access. | P/U |
| B27 — Business/gig/owner status | Partners and genuine separately employed/self-employed assigned workers have specific treatment; nonprofits and public-business entities have different rules. C011–C012, C019–C020. | Legal relationship and organizational category. | “Gig,” owner, nonprofit or public label answers the whole inquiry. | Examine generic official worker/employer-classification authority, keeping full common-law merits held. | A/H |
| B28 — Unemployment/severance/actual recovery | WARN’s notice/remedy provisions do not themselves decide those other entitlements or collectibility. C078–C089, C107. | Separate legal authority and actual determinations, expressly outside scope. | WARN notice guarantees income or a successful payment recovery. | Define a later independent public-law component for the selected additional program/right. | X |
| B29 — Stale transfer locator | The operative text contains the described transfer rule and an unresolved internal locator. C029, C104. | Authenticated correction or authoritative legal reconciliation. | Silently replacing the locator establishes the legal correction. | Obtain the relevant official correction history for §639.3(f)(4). | P/U |
| B30 — Broader financial consequences | No selected provision establishes debt forbearance, tax treatment, protected funds, bankruptcy priority or settlement suitability. C107. | Separate regimes and facts, all held. | A notice violation authorizes missed payments, debt offsets or negotiations. | Address only a separately scoped generic public-law question in a later component. | X |

| Log item | Actual access/read outcome | Treatment in this report |
|---|---|---|
| L01 — Current Code chapter original | S013’s preliminary Chapter 23 URL failed with 404. Search results were discovery leads only. | Complete section bodies were obtained individually; no whole-chapter read is inferred from a search result. |
| L02 — Latest individual Code routes | Latest §2101, §2102 and §2109 bodies succeeded. Latest §2103–§2108 routes failed; retried ordinary section/query variants also failed or returned error/not-found pages. | S001 explicitly distinguishes Oct. 20 from Oct. 7 displayed currency. No claim of a verified later body for the failed sections. |
| L03 — Legacy Code query formats | Attempts using view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title29-section2103 and analogous section routes returned 403, 404, 500 or a not-found body. | They add no legal evidence. No security gate was bypassed; successful ordinary official alternatives were used. |
| L04 — Original Act at House host | https://uscode.house.gov/statutes/pl/100/379.pdf returned a maintenance page. | Successful ordinary GPO alternative S003 supplied the complete six-page enacted Act. |
| L05 — Current eCFR | Complete Part 639 body and displayed status/version read. | Current compilation evidence, with its unofficial-legal-edition status retained. |
| L06 — Annual CFR | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/CFR-2026-title20-vol3/pdf/CFR-2026-title20-vol3-part639.pdf was inaccessible. The April 1, 2025 PDF succeeded and complete Part 639 was read. | Failure does not establish that the 2026 edition does not exist. The 2025 edition is not relabeled current to October 2026. |
| L07 — Original final-rule issue | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1989-04-20/pdf/FR-1989-04-20.pdf exceeded retrieval size. The official FederalRegister citation page linked the successful S004 archival slice. | Complete codified rule body and selected complete material preamble discussions read from the smaller official public document. Not a whole-issue or whole-preamble certification. |
| L08 — DOL preamble HTML | https://www.dol.gov/general/topic/training/warn-reg-preamble initially returned page/navigation material; later material-body requests returned 403. | No substantive conclusion relies on unseen HTML. Actual final-rule PDF text supplies the adopted preamble findings. |
| L09 — Correction lead | S014’s full April 26 issue exceeded retrieval size; HTML failed. A public mirror also exceeded retrieval size: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/5b/Federal_Register_1989-04-26-Vol_54_Iss_79%28IA_sim_federal-register-find_1989-04-26_54_79%29.pdf. Attempted FederalRegister citation-locator routes did not yield the correction body. | Correction content and page location remain unverified. Neither official search excerpts nor the mirror’s search excerpt supplies a legal proposition. |
| L10 — Necessary cross-references | Selected complete NLRA/RLA representative provisions, ERISA plan definitions and WIOA recipient/function provisions read. Latest §1002 and §3174 routes failed; earlier official current-labeled alternatives succeeded. | Narrow incorporation only; not whole-regime or complete-history review. The later indexed §1002(18) enactment was opened and read. |
| L11 — Discovery material outside scope | Searches sometimes returned unrelated legal material, older summaries and an unsolicited judicial-result hit. | No actual case/opinion/docket result was opened or adopted. No identifying query was made. No actual employer notices, State lists, rosters or private records were investigated. |
| L12 — Read-bound verification | S003’s entire Act; S002’s complete Part 639 in both formats; S004’s complete codified Part 639 and named complete preamble discussions; S005/S006’s specified enacted clauses read. | Parsed text is identified as parsed text. Adjacent returned material is not presented as a reviewed additional program or whole instrument. |
| Gap | What remains unresolved | Why the answer stops there | Exact next permissible public-law inquiry |
|---|---|---|---|
| G01 — Section-specific currentness | Later-current bodies for §§2103–2108 and the latest routes for §1002 and §3174 were not accessible. | Successful official alternatives have older displayed currency; the general currency page does not cure that limitation. | Reopen the official latest bodies and inspect actual materially affecting later enactments. |
| G02 — Correction/later-history chain | Actual April 26, 1989 correction body and an exhaustive later correction/amendment chain. | Search excerpts are not accepted as enacted/corrective text; full issue retrieval failed. | Obtain the official correction body, with verified printed page and read extent. |
| G03 — 90-day equality | Whether exact equality to the event minimum is treated identically under the statute’s “exceed” and regulation’s “reach” wording. | No silent textual repair or judicial consensus is permissible from these sources. | Seek an official correction or generic published clarification; judicial reconciliation stays outside this pass. |
| G04 — Stale internal locator | The legal treatment of §639.3(f)(4)’s reference to nonexistent §639.3(h)(4). | It is present in both the original final-rule text and current compilation. | Read authenticated correction history for this exact locator. |
| G05 — Recipient/time interaction | Effect of changed representation between notice-required time and actual notice; present operation of the older Governor-transition language. | Different textual formulations and later State-recipient amendments are visible; no actual designation or representation facts are supplied. | Examine generic published authority addressing those textual interactions. |
| G06 — Calculation conventions | Partial-week averaging, hours-reduction baseline, month boundaries, remedy compensable days/rate conversion, and specific procedural time-counting rules. | The selected provisions do not supply every necessary convention; no facts or judicial analysis were authorized. | Read only the indispensable generic authority for a particular convention in a separately bounded inquiry. |
| G07 — Worker/employer classification merits | Actual employee status, independent-business relationships, constructive discharge, temporary-project understanding and single-site application. | Regulatory factors are not findings of fact; full judicial/common-law merits are held. | A generic definitional clarification may be examined; no employer/worker record inquiry follows. |
| G08 — Incorporated regimes | Full NLRA/RLA representation merits, ERISA/IRC plan classification, WIOA program eligibility and benefits, and their complete histories. | Only the narrow incorporations necessary to understand WARN were examined. | Address the exact next definitional question only if indispensable; otherwise retain the boundary. |
| G09 — Actual remedy and other-law consequences | Limitations/tolling, actual standing or venue, damages, fees, collectibility, priority, tax, unemployment, severance, protected funds, bankruptcy and debt consequences. | These require additional law, facts, judicial determinations or other A073 components expressly held. | A later independent generic public-law component, without importing this report as proof of an actual entitlement. |
| Check | Result |
|---|---|
| Independent source work | Earlier reports and conversations were not used as legal or factual foundations. |
| Complete selected bodies | All nine selected statutory bodies and all ten Part 639 sections were read; currentness differences remain expressly disclosed. |
| Nested qualifications | Part-time counting, recall, business relationships, site rules, transfers, sales, temporary employment, labor-event qualifications and reduced-notice predicates are included. |
| Notice completeness | Actor, each recipient category, recipient-specific content, written delivery, ordinary timing, staged/conditional notice and changes are distinguished. |
| Remedy completeness | Rate floor, benefits, both employee-duration limits, mandatory reductions, possible service-credit reduction, local penalty/exception, discretion, fees, enforcement and other-law savings are separated. |
| Quantity handling | Source-stated measures are registered with bases, triggers, boundaries and limits. No actual count, amount or calendar was calculated. |
| Source integrity | Failed originals, ordinary alternatives, displayed currency, enactment/effective dates and read bounds are separated. No failed source or snippet establishes absence of law. |
| Scope restraint | No actual or invented identifying record query, employer/worker investigation, notice drafting, filing, contact, claim recommendation or financial action was undertaken. |
| Worksheet integrity | All authority-entry, evidence-entry, analysis and result cells are blank. |
| Review/acceptance status | This is the researcher’s self-check, not independent review. No component, A073/parent, operational or publication acceptance is asserted. |
The findings establish a bounded public federal notice-and-remedy framework. They establish no actual coverage, compliant notice, valid exception, violation, compensation, benefit eligibility or recommended action.

| R073-P1-C001 | The selected statutory organization is Title 29, Chapter 23, §§2101–2109. The selected regulatory organization is 20 CFR Chapter V, Part 639, §§639.1–639.10. | S001, all selected sections; S002, complete Part 639. |
| R073-P1-C002 | The Code currency is section-specific: the successful §2101, §2102 and §2109 pages display Oct. 20, 2026; successful §2103–§2108 alternatives display Oct. 7, 2026. A website-wide currency statement does not replace the latter labels. | S001; S012; failed routes S013. |
| R073-P1-C003 | The eCFR is the current official-publisher compilation, but expressly not an official legal edition. The April 1, 2025 annual CFR is an official historical edition. The Title-20-wide Oct. 19 amendment label does not establish a Part 639 amendment on that date. | S002, version/status statements. |
| R073-P1-C004 | The original Act became law Aug. 4, 1988. Section 11 uses a six-month effective-date interval, except immediate Secretary regulatory authority. The final-rule introduction identifies Feb. 4, 1989; the rule itself states May 22, 1989 effectiveness. Initial notice/application questions were expressly left to courts in its preamble. | S003 §11, 102 Stat. 895; S004, 54 FR 16042 and 16064, “(12) Effective Date.” |
| R073-P1-C005 | The State-recipient wording changed through the 1998 enactment/enacted transition and the 2014 WIOA amendment. The current statute refers to the State or its designated entity under §3174(a)(2)(A). Older JTPA/EDWAA wording remains in the displayed regulation. | S001 §2102(a)(2), notes; S005 §405(d)(26), (f)(18), (g); S006 §512(kk), §506; S002 §§639.3(k), 639.6(c). |
| R073-P1-C006 | Section 2107(a) authorizes regulations and specifically requires at least interpretative service regulations. Part 639 was issued as a final rule. Its preamble says the proposal’s description as “interpretative regulations” was removed from the final regulatory text. This report does not decide judicial deference or validity. | S001 §2107(a); S004, 54 FR 16043, §639.1(d) discussion. |
| R073-P1-C007 | Part 639 supplies basic definitions and broad notice rules while acknowledging that it cannot answer every industry-specific situation. Its policy encouragements do not themselves establish that every job loss is covered. | S002 §639.1(b), (c), (e); S001 §2106. |
| R073-P1-C008 | One employer-coverage route is a business enterprise employing at least 100 employees excluding part-time employees. | S001 §2101(a)(1)(A); S002 §639.3(a)(1)(i). |
| R073-P1-C009 | The alternative route requires at least 100 employees including part-time employees, who collectively work at least 4,000 hours per week, excluding overtime hours. The employee-count and aggregate-hours conditions are cumulative within this route. | S001 §2101(a)(1)(B); S002 §639.3(a)(1)(ii). |
| R073-P1-C010 | Workers temporarily laid off or on leave count as employees if they reasonably expect recall. The regulation ties that expectation to notification or industry practice indicating a temporary interruption and recall to the same or a similar job. | S002 §639.3(a)(1), following (ii). |
| R073-P1-C011 | Nonprofits of the requisite size are included. Regular federal, State, local and federally recognized tribal governments are excluded. Public or quasi-public business entities are included only with the stated business activity, separate organization, own governing body and independent personnel/assets authority characteristics. | S002 §639.3(a)(1). No actual governmental or organizational classification made. |
| R073-P1-C012 | Contractor/subsidiary relationships are assessed under existing legal rules and the degree of independence. Listed factors are common ownership; common directors/officers; de facto control; common-source personnel policies; and operational dependence. No single factor is declared automatically dispositive. | S002 §639.3(a)(2). The complete judicial relationship test remains held. |
| R073-P1-C013 | An employer can operate multiple employment sites under common ownership or control. The employer-coverage inquiry and the single-site event inquiry are therefore distinct. | S002 §639.3(a)(4), read with (b), (c), (i). |
| R073-P1-C014 | Non-part-time workers exempt from notice under §2103 still count in determining employer coverage and plant-closing/mass-layoff thresholds. Counting a worker does not establish that worker’s own notice entitlement. | S002 §639.3(a)(3), (c)(2). |
| R073-P1-C015 | “Part-time” means either an average of fewer than 20 hours weekly, or employment for fewer than six of the twelve months preceding the date notice is required. A worker with full-time hours can meet the short-tenure branch. | S001 §2101(a)(8); S002 §639.3(h). |
| R073-P1-C016 | For the average-hours branch, the measurement period is the shorter of actual employment or the most recent 90 days. The selected text does not supply a comprehensive rounding, partial-week or payroll-conversion convention. | S002 §639.3(h). No calculation performed. |
| R073-P1-C017 | Coverage headcount ordinarily uses the date the first notice is required. If clearly unrepresentative of ordinary/average employment, a more representative recent average or alternative date can be used in unusual circumstances, without evasion. The regulation does not prescribe a universal alternative averaging duration. | S002 §639.5(a)(2). |
| R073-P1-C018 | “Affected employees” are employees reasonably expected to experience an employment loss because of a proposed plant closing or mass layoff by their employer. | S001 §2101(a)(5); S002 §639.3(e). |
| R073-P1-C019 | Affected employees include managerial and supervisory employees. Business partners are excluded from that regulatory category. Ownership labels alone do not resolve another person’s employee status. | S002 §639.3(e). |
| R073-P1-C020 | Consultant/contract workers separately employed and paid by another employer, or self-employed, are not affected employees of the assigned business under this provision. A “gig,” contractor or self-employment label does not prove that the underlying relationship satisfies the exclusion. | S002 §639.3(e), read with (a)(2). |
| R073-P1-C021 | Identifiable workers likely to lose employment through bumping or other factors are included. If the eventual worker cannot be identified, notice goes to the incumbent in the eliminated position. For counting, the rule permits incumbents or, if known 60 days in advance, the actual employees who will suffer loss. | S002 §§639.3(e), 639.6(b). |
| R073-P1-C022 | Part-time employees are excluded from event-threshold counts but are due notice when they are affected employees of a covered action and no applicable notice exemption removes that duty. | S002 §639.6(b), read with §§639.3, 639.5(c)–(d). |

| R073-P1-C023 | An employment termination is an employment loss unless it is a discharge for cause, voluntary departure or retirement, subject also to the statutory exclusions. None of those factual characterizations is supplied. | S001 §2101(a)(6)(A), (b); S002 §639.3(f)(1)(i). |
| R073-P1-C024 | A layoff is an employment loss under the duration branch if it exceeds six months. A shorter layoff can later implicate the extension rule; it is not automatically exempt from every other loss category. | S001 §2101(a)(6)(B), §2102(c); S002 §§639.3(f)(1)(ii), 639.4(b). |
| R073-P1-C025 | A reduction in an individual’s hours is an employment loss if it is more than 50% during each month of a six-month period. An average across the period is not the stated test. The comparison-hours baseline and application conventions are not established for any worker. | S001 §2101(a)(6)(C); S002 §639.3(f)(1)(iii). |
| R073-P1-C026 | For termination/layoff purposes, reassignment to employer-sponsored retraining or job-search activities is not employment loss if it is not constructive discharge or another involuntary termination. This does not establish that any particular arrangement preserves employment. | S002 §639.3(f)(2). |
| R073-P1-C027 | Where relocation/consolidation causes the closing or layoff, a pre-event offer of transfer within reasonable commuting distance, with a break of no more than six months, supplies one loss exclusion. This branch does not expressly require acceptance. | S001 §2101(b)(2)(A); S002 §639.3(f)(3)(i). |
| R073-P1-C028 | The alternative transfer exclusion requires the same relocation/consolidation and pre-event-offer predicates, a different site regardless of distance, a break no longer than six months, and acceptance within 30 days of the offer or closing/layoff, whichever is later. | S001 §2101(b)(2)(B); S002 §639.3(f)(3)(ii). |
| R073-P1-C029 | The regulation describes relocation/consolidation as transferring a definable business—such as orders, product lines or operations—to a different site, resulting in a closing or mass layoff. Its reference to nonexistent §639.3(h)(4) is retained as a locator problem, not silently rewritten. | S002 §639.3(f)(4); S004, printed 16066/index 28. |
| R073-P1-C030 | A new assignment constituting constructive discharge is not treated as a transfer. Reasonable commuting distance depends on accessibility, roads, transportation and usual travel time, with local/industry context. There is no fixed mileage rule in these provisions. | S002 §639.5(b)(2)–(4). |
| R073-P1-C031 | In a business sale, seller responsibility runs through the effective date; purchaser responsibility follows. The statute deems the seller’s non-part-time employees at effectiveness to be purchaser employees immediately afterward. The regulation discusses the effective date and time. | S001 §2101(b)(1); S002 §639.4(c), §639.6 introductory text. |
| R073-P1-C032 | An empowered seller may notify as the buyer’s agent about definite buyer plans within 60 days of purchase; responsibility remains with the buyer. A technical sale-related termination does not itself require notice without actual covered employment loss, and the continuity provision creates no other employment rights. | S002 §639.4(c)(1)–(2); §639.6 introductory text. |
| R073-P1-C033 | A plant closing requires permanent/temporary shutdown of a single site, or one or more facilities/operating units within it, causing loss for at least 50 non-part-time employees at the site during any 30-day period. Effective cessation can be a shutdown even if some workers remain. A temporary shutdown still needs qualifying losses. | S001 §2101(a)(2); S002 §639.3(b). |
| R073-P1-C034 | A mass layoff is a reduction in force not resulting from a plant closing. At a single site in any 30 days, it requires at least 50 non-part-time losses and at least 33% of active non-part-time employees, or at least 500 non-part-time losses without the percentage requirement; other predicates remain. | S001 §2101(a)(3); S002 §639.3(c)(1). |
| R073-P1-C035 | A single site may be one location or contiguous locations, including a campus, industrial park or facilities across a street. One building may contain separate sites for separate employers. Location alone does not establish aggregation. | S002 §639.3(i)(1)–(2). |
| R073-P1-C036 | Noncontiguous buildings may form one site when reasonably proximate, used for the same purpose, and sharing staff and equipment. Noncontiguous locations without shared staff or operational purpose should not be combined under the stated rule. | S002 §639.3(i)(3)–(4). |
| R073-P1-C037 | Contiguous buildings of one employer are separate sites under the stated example/rule when management, products and workforces are separate. Common ownership alone is insufficient to erase those qualifications. | S002 §639.3(i)(5). |
| R073-P1-C038 | Traveling, outstationed and other workers whose primary duties are outside regular sites use the home-base, work-assignment or reporting site identified by §639.3(i)(6). No universal home-address rule for remote work is established here. | S002 §639.3(i)(6). |
| R073-P1-C039 | Foreign sites are not covered, while “U.S. workers” at those sites count toward employer coverage under the regulation. For WARN, “State” includes the 50 States, DC, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Definitions from other incorporated programs are not automatically substituted. | S002 §639.3(i)(7), (l). |
| R073-P1-C040 | Unusual organizational situations may require the residual single-site provision, but it cannot be used to evade notice. “Facility” means building(s); “operating unit” means an organizationally or operationally distinct product, operation or work function within/across facilities at a single site. | S002 §639.3(i)(8), (j). |
| R073-P1-C041 | The regulation directs looking ahead and behind 30 days to determine whether actions aggregate within any 30-day period. This does not create one enlarged 60-day event window. | S002 §639.5(a)(1)(i); S001 §2101(a)(2)–(3). |
| R073-P1-C042 | Section 2102(d) addresses two or more groups at one site, each below the specified minimum, whose combined losses exceed it within any 90 days, unless the employer demonstrates separate/distinct actions and causes, without evasion. The regulation instead says aggregate losses reach the minimum. Exact equality under this additional aggregation provision remains a text-reconciliation question. | S001 §2102(d); S002 §639.5(a)(1)(ii). No judicial conclusion supplied. |

| R073-P1-C043 | The employer anticipating the covered action bears the notice duty and decides who within its organization prepares and delivers notice. Selecting a sender does not establish compliance or shift the statutory duty to employees or a government recipient. | S002 §639.4 introductory text and (a); S001 §2102(a). |
| R073-P1-C044 | Ordinarily the employer may not order the covered action until the end of 60 days after serving written notice on the relevant representative—or each affected employee if unrepresented—and on the State/designated rapid-response entity and the chief elected local official. | S001 §2102(a)(1)–(2); subject to §2102(b)–(c), §2103. |
| R073-P1-C045 | WARN “representative” means an exclusive representative under NLRA §9(a) or §8(f), or Railway Labor Act §2. It does not mean any adviser, coworker, organization or self-designated agent. | S001 §2101(a)(4); S002 §639.3(d); limited cross-reference findings C095–C097. |
| R073-P1-C046 | Representative notice goes to the chief elected officer of the exclusive representative/bargaining agent. If different, copying the local union official is recommended. The statute and §639.6(a) use representation at notice; §639.6’s introduction refers to when notice is required. A change between those times is not resolved without further authority. | S001 §2102(a)(1); S002 §639.6 introductory text and (a). |
| R073-P1-C047 | A local-government unit must have the stated general-purpose, taxing, spending, corporate and police powers. If multiple units encompass the site, use the one receiving the highest directly paid local taxes in the preceding year; all directly paid local taxes are aggregated. An elected board’s chair is the regulatory recipient. | S001 §2101(a)(7), §2102(a) final sentence; S002 §639.3(g), §639.6(d). |
| R073-P1-C048 | The current State recipient is tied to statewide rapid-response activities. The selected WIOA provisions describe State/designated-entity activity with local boards and chief elected officials, information/access, emergency and coordinated assistance, and specified immediate contact triggers. These do not establish an individual cash award or completed service. | S001 §2102(a)(2); S011 §3174(a)(2)(A), §3102(51). |
| R073-P1-C049 | The regulation expressly uses 60 calendar days. For staged terminations, the first individual termination within the relevant 30/90-day period triggers the inquiry; each successive group receives its full notice period. The worker’s last employment day is the layoff date for this rule. | S002 §639.5(a)(1). |
| R073-P1-C050 | Notice must be specific. Voluntary notice earlier than 60 days that lacks required information must be supplemented with all required written information at least 60 days before the covered action, subject to applicable reduced-notice provisions. | S002 §639.7(a)(1)–(2), read with §639.9. |
| R073-P1-C051 | Conditional notice is permitted only for a definite event whose occurrence/nonoccurrence necessarily leads, in the normal course, to a covered closing or layoff less than 60 days later. It must contain the required elements. It is not permission for vague continuing warnings. | S002 §639.7(a)(3); published example separately registered at M025. |
| R073-P1-C052 | Notice uses the best information available when served. The regulation says later factual changes and minor inadvertent errors are not intended to establish a violation. It does not say every omission or misleading statement is immaterial. | S002 §639.7(a)(4); S004 preamble §639.1(d). |
| R073-P1-C053 | A stated separation date may be a particular date or a 14-day period. A schedule identifies the specific date or start of each period. When a period is used, notice must precede its first day by at least 60 days. | S002 §639.7(b). |
| R073-P1-C054 | Representative notice requires site name/address and company contact name/telephone; permanent/temporary and entire-plant-closure information; expected first separation and schedule; affected job titles and current workers’ names. | S002 §639.7(c)(1)–(4). Content categories described only; no notice drafted or entries supplied. |
| R073-P1-C055 | Unrepresented-employee notice must be understandable to employees and state permanent/temporary/full-closure status, event start and individual separation date, whether bumping rights exist, and company contact name/telephone. | S002 §639.7(d)(1)–(4). |
| R073-P1-C056 | Separate notices to the State unit and chief elected local official require site/contact information; permanent/temporary/full-closure status; first separation and schedule; affected job titles and counts by classification; bumping-rights indication; and union/chief-officer information. | S002 §639.7(e)(1)–(6), with current statutory recipient qualification in C005/C048. |
| R073-P1-C057 | The alternative abbreviated government notice contains site/contact information, first separation date and affected count. The remaining §639.7(e) information must be maintained onsite and readily accessible to those governments; unavailability when requested is deemed failure to give required notice. | S002 §639.7(f). No records request made or recommended. |
| R073-P1-C058 | The regulation permits useful additional assistance information and, when temporary action is expected, estimated duration if known. Such information is optional under these content provisions and is not itself proof of benefit eligibility. | S002 §639.7(c)–(e), concluding paragraphs. |
| R073-P1-C059 | Section 2107(b) accepts mailing to the employee’s last known address or inclusion in a paycheck. Section 639.8 accepts reasonable delivery designed to ensure receipt at least 60 days before separation, including first-class mail or personal delivery with an optional signed receipt. No mailing-date presumption or added mailing days are supplied here. | S001 §2107(b); S002 §639.8. |
| R073-P1-C060 | A routine preprinted “ticketed” notice included with every paycheck does not meet WARN’s notice requirement. | S002 §639.8, final sentence. |
| R073-P1-C061 | If the announced action is postponed beyond the stated date or the end of its 14-day period by less than 60 days, additional notice is required; it should be given as soon as possible, identify the prior notice, new date/period and reasons, and inform all affected recipients. | S002 §639.10 introductory text and (a). |
| R073-P1-C062 | A postponement of 60 days or more is treated as new notice under §§639.5–639.7. Routine rolling notices used without an impending event and with evasive intent are unacceptable. | S002 §639.10(b). |
| R073-P1-C063 | A layoff initially announced as six months or less but extended beyond six months is treated as employment loss unless unforeseeable-at-outset business circumstances cause the extension and notice is given when the extension becomes reasonably foreseeable. Otherwise the regulation treats loss as commencing at the original layoff. | S001 §2102(c)(1)–(2); S002 §639.4(b). |

| R073-P1-C064 | The temporary-facility/project exemption requires a temporary facility closing or completion of a particular project/undertaking and affected employees hired with an understanding that employment was limited to its duration. | S001 §2103(1); S002 §639.5(c)(1). |
| R073-P1-C065 | The temporary nature must have been clearly understood at hiring. The employer bears the burden of showing communication; the regulation identifies contracts, collective agreements and industry/local practices as relevant evidence categories. | S002 §639.5(c)(2). No such evidence examined. |
| R073-P1-C066 | Recurring seasonal work may meet that exemption when the hiring understanding exists. Permanent employees working continuously across jobs are not exempt merely because the employer also uses temporary workers; a written label does not convert permanent work. A specific contract may be part of a continuing relationship rather than a temporary undertaking. | S002 §639.5(c)(3)–(4), including its published examples. |
| R073-P1-C067 | Section 2103(2) exempts a closing/layoff constituting a strike or a lockout not intended to evade WARN. The regulation describes a lawful tactical/defensive refusal to use employees during collective bargaining or a labor dispute, and rejects evasive subterfuge. | S001 §2103(2); S002 §639.5(d). |
| R073-P1-C068 | A closing for reasons unrelated to an ongoing strike/lockout is not covered by that exemption. WARN does not require notice when permanently replacing a person deemed an economic striker under the NLRA, but expressly does not validate or invalidate rulings on permanent replacements. | S001 §2103(2) and proviso; S002 §639.5(d). |
| R073-P1-C069 | Covered losses of nonstrikers at the same site, workers outside the relevant bargaining unit, and workers at other unstruck plants are not automatically exempt. A separate reduced-notice exception may apply if its own predicates are met. | S002 §639.5(d), complete qualifications. |
| R073-P1-C070 | For §639.9 exceptions, the employer bears proof of the conditions, must give as much notice as practicable to the required recipient categories, and must give a brief reason for shortening notice when notice is given, in addition to required content. Notice can sometimes be after the event. | S001 §2102(b)(3); S002 §639.9 introductory paragraphs. |
| R073-P1-C071 | The faltering-company exception applies to plant closings, not mass layoffs, is narrowly construed, and requires active capital/business seeking when the 60-day notice would have been required, with identifiable specific actions. | S001 §2102(b)(1); S002 §639.9(a), (a)(1). |
| R073-P1-C072 | Faltering-company predicates also include a realistic opportunity to obtain the capital/business; sufficiency to avoid/postpone shutdown for a reasonable time; and reasonable good-faith belief that notice would preclude obtaining it, supported objectively. Assessment is company-wide; a troubled site alone does not suffice where capital access/reserves defeat the asserted condition. | S002 §639.9(a)(2)–(4). No financing or business facts supplied. |
| R073-P1-C073 | The unforeseeable-business-circumstances route covers closings and mass layoffs caused by circumstances not reasonably foreseeable when notice would have been required. The regulatory standard is commercially reasonable judgment of a similarly situated employer; perfect prediction of general economic conditions is not required. | S001 §2102(b)(2)(A); S002 §639.9(b), (b)(2). |
| R073-P1-C074 | Sudden unexpected external action is an indicator. Published possibilities include unexpected major-contract termination, a major-supplier strike, an unanticipated dramatic downturn, or government-ordered closure without prior notice. The regulation says these may qualify; labels do not prove causation or unforeseeability. | S002 §639.9(b)(1). |
| R073-P1-C075 | Section 2102(b)(2)(B) says no notice is required for loss due to natural disaster, but adjacent (b)(3) imposes practicable notice for an employer relying on the subsection. Section 639.9(c) expressly requires direct causation, employer demonstration, and available practicable notice/content before or after loss. Indirect effects do not meet that disaster route, though the business-circumstances route may apply. | S001 §2102(b)(2)(B), (b)(3); S002 §639.9(c)(1)–(4). Floods, earthquakes, droughts, storms, tidal waves/tsunamis and similar effects are the published examples. |

| R073-P1-C076 | Employee liability under §2104(a)(1) requires an employer’s covered closing/layoff in violation of §2102 and an aggrieved employee’s resulting employment loss. “Aggrieved employee” means someone who worked for that employer and, because of its noncompliance, lacked timely notice directly or through a representative. | S001 §2104(a)(1), (7). |
| R073-P1-C077 | Back pay is for each day of violation at a compensation rate not less than the higher of the employee’s average regular rate during the last three years of employment or final regular rate. This supplies a statutory measure, not a computed daily amount. | S001 §2104(a)(1)(A)(i)–(ii). |
| R073-P1-C078 | The remedy includes benefits under a plan described in §1002(3), including incurred medical expenses that would have been covered absent the employment loss. A plan, expense or coverage determination is not supplied. | S001 §2104(a)(1)(B); S009; C098–C101. |
| R073-P1-C079 | Employee liability is calculated for the violation period, capped at 60 days and, independently, at one-half the days employed. The selected text does not resolve every compensable-day or rate-conversion question; no calendar-day/workday damages model is adopted. | S001 §2104(a)(1), final sentence; S004 preamble §639.1(d). |
| R073-P1-C080 | Wages paid by the employer for the violation period must reduce paragraph-(1) liability. | S001 §2104(a)(2)(A). |
| R073-P1-C081 | A voluntary, unconditional employer payment not required by a legal obligation must reduce paragraph-(1) liability. A payment called severance is not automatically in this category; voluntariness, conditions and legal obligation remain separate predicates. | S001 §2104(a)(2)(B). This clause does not repeat the express period limitation used in (A) and (C). |
| R073-P1-C082 | Employer payments to a third party/trustee on behalf of and attributable to the employee for the violation period must reduce paragraph-(1) liability; the statute gives health premiums and defined-contribution payments as examples. | S001 §2104(a)(2)(C). |
| R073-P1-C083 | Defined-benefit-plan liability may be reduced by service credit for all plan purposes during the violation period. This is distinct from the three mandatory payment reductions. | S001 §2104(a)(2), concluding sentence; S009 (34)–(35). |
| R073-P1-C084 | A violation respecting a local-government unit carries a statutory civil penalty not exceeding $500 for each day of violation. It does not apply if the employer pays each aggrieved employee the full amount of liability within three weeks from the order of shutdown/layoff. This is not $500 per employee or a general cure of all noncompliance. | S001 §2104(a)(3). No amount, inflation-adjustment theory or actual payment result calculated. |
| R073-P1-C085 | An employer must prove both good faith and reasonable grounds for believing its act/omission lawful to obtain the statutory opportunity for a reduction. Even then, reduction of liability/penalty is discretionary with the court. | S001 §2104(a)(4). |
| R073-P1-C086 | A person seeking to enforce the liability—including a representative or aggrieved local unit as stated—may sue for itself, similarly situated persons, or both, in a U.S. district where the violation allegedly occurred or the employer transacts business. This is not a completed standing, venue or class-procedure determination. | S001 §2104(a)(5). |
| R073-P1-C087 | A court may, in its discretion, award the prevailing party a reasonable attorney’s fee as part of costs. No automatic employee-only fee entitlement follows. | S001 §2104(a)(6). |
| R073-P1-C088 | Section 2104 provides the exclusive remedies for a WARN violation; a federal court has no authority under WARN to enjoin a closing or mass layoff. This is not a finding that every other source of relief is unavailable. | S001 §2104(b), read with §2105. |
| R073-P1-C089 | Enforcement is through courts. Part 639 states that DOL has no legal standing in WARN enforcement and does not issue advisory opinions deciding specific cases. The final-rule preamble leaves monetary-calculation and related enforcement questions to courts. | S002 §639.1(d); S004, 54 FR 16043, complete §639.1(d) discussion. |
| R073-P1-C090 | WARN rights/remedies supplement other statutory and contractual rights. Notice periods run concurrently. The regulation permits collective agreements to clarify/amplify WARN terms but not reduce WARN rights. | S001 §2105; S002 §639.1(g). No complete state-law or contractual analysis. |
| R073-P1-C091 | Notice given in good-faith compliance with WARN does not constitute a violation of the NLRA or RLA. That protection has an express good-faith-compliance condition and does not immunize unrelated conduct. | S001 §2108. |
| R073-P1-C092 | Section 2106 expresses congressional encouragement for possible notice even when §2102 does not require it. It does not erase coverage thresholds or create a universal compensable notice violation. | S001 §2106; S002 §639.1(c), (e). |
| R073-P1-C093 | Section 2109 directs a Comptroller General report two years after Aug. 4, 1988, examining specified effects of WARN. It is a historical governmental reporting requirement, not a worker’s filing period or compensation entitlement. | S001 §2109; S003 §10. |
| R073-P1-C094 | The selected WARN statute and Part 639 do not state a universal limitations period for filing a WARN action. This pass supplies none and does not import a deadline from another labor statute. | Complete selected S001/S002 read; judicial borrowing/tolling and procedural regimes excluded. |

| R073-P1-C095 | NLRA §159(a) makes a representative selected/designated by a majority of employees in an appropriate unit exclusive for collective bargaining. Its individual/group grievance provisos require consistency with the operative collective agreement and an opportunity for the representative to be present. These are not alternative WARN notice-recipient rules. | S007 §159(a), complete. |
| R073-P1-C096 | Section 158(f) is a specialized construction-industry agreement provision: it addresses unestablished majority status, specified membership timing, hiring notice/referrals, and training/experience/service preferences. It retains the final §158(a)(3) proviso and does not bar §159(c)/(e) petitions where validity depends on clause (1). WARN’s reference does not generalize this provision to every worker or industry. | S007 §158(f), all clauses/provisos; §158(a)(3) final proviso. |
| R073-P1-C097 | RLA representatives are designated without interference/coercion; employee representatives need not themselves work for the carrier. A craft/class majority chooses its representative; Ninth supplies a disputed-representation mechanism. None of that establishes a representative’s identity or converts RLA procedural periods into WARN periods. | S008 Second–Fourth and Ninth. |
| R073-P1-C098 | ERISA §1002(3) defines employee benefit plan as a welfare plan, pension plan, or both. WARN’s benefit remedy incorporates that category; it is not limited by a casual label such as “insurance” or “retirement.” | S009 §1002(3); S001 §2104(a)(1)(B). |
| R073-P1-C099 | Section 1002(1) requires an employer/employee-organization established or maintained plan, fund or program for specified participant/beneficiary purposes. Listed purposes include medical and specified contingency benefits, vacation, training, day care, scholarships and prepaid legal services; its §186(c) branch excludes the specified retirement/death pensions and insurance providing them. Full §186(c) plan classification remains held. | S009 §1002(1), complete; nested regime not declared satisfied. |
| R073-P1-C100 | Section 1002(2) covers retirement income or income deferral to termination/beyond, regardless of calculation/distribution method, with its age-62 in-service-distribution qualification. It preserves regulatory welfare treatment of specified severance/supplemental arrangements, the anti-evasion qualification, specified IRC §457 arrangements, and pooled-plan treatment. These do not establish a supplied plan or payment right. | S009 §1002(2)(A)–(C), complete. Full tax/plan regimes held. |
| R073-P1-C101 | Section 1002(34) describes individual-account/defined-contribution benefits based on contributions and allocated income, expenses, gains, losses and forfeitures. Paragraph (35) defines other pension plans as defined-benefit plans, with purpose-specific treatment for hybrid separate-account benefits under the named ERISA provisions. | S009 §1002(34)–(35), complete. No plan calculation. |
| R073-P1-C102 | The Oct. 15, 2026 amendment examined in S010 changes §1002(18), not the selected plan-definition paragraphs. Its application clause concerns specified determinations on/after enactment. This narrow check does not certify all later ERISA history. | S010 §2(a)–(b); S012 Title 29 entries. |
| R073-P1-C103 | The WIOA amendment’s general effective trigger is the first day of the first full program year after enactment. The original program-year text starts that year July 1; the Code note identifies July 1, 2015 for the WARN amendment. Youth funding availability and other §506 transitions are not a different WARN notice period. | S006 §506, §189(g)(1); S001 §2102 effective-date note. |
| R073-P1-C104 | The stale transfer locator and old State-unit references must remain disclosed. The current statute directly establishes the WIOA-linked recipient; this pass does not certify that using the regulation’s historical Governor-transition route would satisfy an actual present notice obligation. | C005, C029; S001 §2102(a)(2); S002 §§639.3(f)(4), (k), 639.6(c). |
| R073-P1-C105 | No actual headcount, fraction, hours reduction, period, deadline or remedy is computed. Necessary classifications and measurement inputs are absent; some counting/compensable-day conventions and the 90-day equality issue are unresolved within this pass. | C015–C017, C025, C042, C049, C079; M register below. |
| R073-P1-C106 | Failed source access supports only an access finding. Current compilation labels, source credits and a selected classification-table check are not an exhaustive enactment, correction or judicial audit. | S001–S014 and failure log. |
| R073-P1-C107 | The selected framework establishes conditional notice duties and remedies for violations. It does not, on its own, establish unemployment eligibility, severance, guaranteed income, protected funds, a debt moratorium, tax treatment, bankruptcy treatment, debt settlement rights or actual collection. | S001 §§2102–2106; S002 §§639.1–639.2; scope-limited inference, not a survey of other law. |
| R073-P1-C108 | The regulation’s own quantitative illustrations include 10 permanent/40 temporary workers with 10 notice recipients, 50 businesses/50 sites in a building, and a conditional-notice example using 30 days after contract expiration. They are published generic illustrations, not facts supplied or invented for this report. | S002 §§639.3(c)(2), 639.3(i)(2), 639.7(a)(3). Their predicates remain necessary. |

| M038 | Within 3 weeks from employer’s shutdown/layoff order | Payment to each aggrieved employee of that employee’s liability eliminates the paragraph-(3) penalty. | Order event, full payment and recipients; not a general claim-filing deadline. | C084; §2104(a)(3). |
| M039 | “Reasonable” attorney’s fee; no fixed schedule | Prevailing party, judicial discretion, as part of costs. | Prevailing status, fee evidence and judicial decision. | C087; §2104(a)(6). |
| M040 | 2 years after Aug. 4, 1988 | Comptroller General report under §2109. | Historical government reporting; no worker claim period inferred. | C093; §2109. |
| M041 | 6 months after enactment, except immediate regulatory authority | Original WARN effectiveness. Final-rule introduction states Feb. 4, 1989; original initial-notice application issue remains bounded by S004’s reservation. | No historical employer event supplied; no new date calculation. | C004; PL 100-379 §11; 54 FR 16042, 16064. |
| M042 | Final rule: signed Apr. 13, 1989; published Apr. 20; effective May 22 | Distinct issuance/publication/effectiveness events. | No exhaustive correction chain certified. | C004, C106; S004. |
| M043 | Oct. 21, 1998 and July 1, 2000 | Separate effective stages of the two State-recipient amendments. | Historical clauses; not alternative present filing routes. | C005; S005 §405(g)(1), (2)(B). |

| M046 | Majority of employees in an appropriate unit | NLRA §159(a) representative selection; not the WARN 33% event ratio. Grievance provisos remain. C095; S007. |
| M047 | After the seventh day following the later employment/agreement event | Specialized §158(f)(2) construction-agreement membership provision, subject to all §158(f) conditions and provisos; not seven-day WARN notice. The read §158(a)(3) context also contains a thirtieth-day rule and a preceding-one-year election condition; neither is adopted as a WARN measure. C096; S007. |
| M048 | RLA Ninth: 30 days after invocation; possible three-person committee and 10 days; three or more ballot options and a second election if none obtains a majority | Disputed-representative machinery only. No actual invocation, election, representative or WARN deadline established. C097; S008. |
| M049 | Age 62 | §1002(2)(A)’s qualification prevents the specified in-service distribution fact alone from defeating retirement-income characterization. It is not WARN eligibility, a supplied age, or a retirement-withdrawal recommendation. C100; S009. |

| Branch | Supported conditional rule and source links | Missing evidence or authority | Adverse inference to avoid | Next permissible generic public-law inquiry | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| B01 — Employer coverage unknown | Apply the business-enterprise definition and either coverage route, with category exceptions. C008–C013; S001 §2101(a)(1), S002 §639.3(a). | Legal employer category, relationships, count. | “Business” or “small business” establishes coverage or exclusion. | Read any later published amendment to the employer definition or §639.3(a). | A/H |
| B02 — Worker count/hours unknown | Route A excludes part-time workers; route B includes them but also requires the aggregate-hours condition. C008–C010; M001–M002. | Worker classifications, recall expectations, hours and reference date. | One headcount answers both routes; overtime counts toward 4,000. | Examine generic published interpretation of aggregate non-overtime weekly hours. | A/H |
| B03 — Part-time status | Either the hours or short-tenure branch suffices; shorter actual/90-day averaging applies to hours. C015–C016; M003–M005. | Employment span, hours and notice-required event. | Full-time payroll label necessarily defeats WARN part-time status. | Examine any official clarification of partial-week averaging without supplying worker data. | A/H |
| B04 — Employer threshold versus event threshold | Employer size and site-level employment-loss tests are cumulative but different. C008–C017, C033–C034; S001/S002. | Employer scope and qualifying losses at a site. | Meeting 100 employees proves a covered layoff, or 50 losses alone proves employer coverage. | Compare the exact employer and event definitions in any later operative amendment. | A/H |
| B05 — Single-site issue | Apply geography, common purpose/staff/equipment, separate management/workforces and unusual-structure qualifications. C035–C040; §639.3(i)–(j). | Site and operational classification; disputed legal treatment. | All facilities of one owner are one site, or one building always is one site. | Read official generic clarification of the particular single-site category, without identifying a site. | A/H |
| B06 — Traveling/outstationed work | The home-base/assignment/reporting provision governs its stated worker categories. C038; §639.3(i)(6). | Nature of primary duties and legal site attribution. | Every home or every remote worker is a separate site. | Ask whether a later public rule specifically addresses remote-work site attribution. | A/H |
| B07 — Separated actions/aggregation | Examine any 30 days and the additional qualified 90-day rule; preserve separate/distinct causes and non-evasion. C041–C042; M014–M015. | Complete event categories/sequence; legal reconciliation at equality. | Separating actions automatically avoids coverage, or the 90-day text has an uncontested equality rule. | Seek a published statutory/regulatory correction or generic official explanation of “exceed” versus “reach.” | P/U |
| B08 — Temporary layoff/hours reduction | Duration exceeding six months and >50% reduction in every relevant month are distinct routes; extension conditions matter. C024–C025, C063. | Duration, individual hours, baseline, causation and foreseeability. | A short layoff label permanently prevents loss status; a six-month average is sufficient. | Read generic official clarification of the hours baseline and extension trigger. | A/H |
| B09 — Transfer, retirement or other termination exclusion | Apply the exact exclusion category and its cumulative conditions; transfer must not be constructive discharge. C023, C027–C030. | Voluntariness, cause, retirement characterization, transfer conditions and legal standards. | Every reassignment, retirement label or declined offer eliminates WARN rights. | Examine public generic authority clarifying the relevant exclusion; keep judicial application held. | A/H |
| B10 — Sale of business | Seller/buyer timing and statutory employee continuity matter; technical termination alone does not establish covered loss. C031–C032. | Sale effectiveness, actual loss category and agency authority. | Every sale creates notice rights or erases them; agent notice transfers liability. | Read any later generic amendment/interpretation of §2101(b)(1) and §639.4(c). | A/H |
| B11 — Temporary project/seasonal work | Exemption requires the facility/project condition and hiring understanding; permanent work and continuing relationships remain distinct. C064–C066. | Legal project character and communicated hiring understanding. | Seasonality or a written temporary label is automatically enough. | Examine generic official interpretation of recurring seasonal work versus ongoing employment. | A/H |
| B12 — Strike/lockout | Exemption is bounded; nonstrikers, unrelated actions and other plants require separate analysis. C067–C069. | Labor-event classification, cause, unit and evasion predicates. | Any strike somewhere eliminates all related notice duties. | Re-read complete published strike/lockout qualifications; do not seek a real dispute. | A/H |
| B13 — Notice recipient category | Employee/representative, State-designated entity and local official duties are distinct. C044–C048. | Representation, government designation and local-government category. | Notice to one category satisfies every category. | Read any current generic amendment addressing recipients or State-unit nomenclature. | A/H |
| B14 — Represented versus unrepresented | Exclusive representation determines the employee-facing recipient route and content. C045–C046, C054–C055, C095–C097. | Legally valid representation and the relevant time. | Any adviser qualifies, or mailing all workers necessarily substitutes for representative notice. | Clarify the statutory “time of notice” and regulatory “time required” language through public generic authority. | P/U |
| B15 — Content/service/trigger absent | Required content and reasonable delivery designed for timely receipt are independent conditions. C049–C060. | Content, sender, delivery, receipt design and event facts. | A generic announcement, routine paycheck insert or content checklist is completed service. | Examine official generic service instructions and any subsequent regulation; no notice drafted. | A/H |
| B16 — Staged actions | Each group retains the ordinary notice period; the first individual termination triggers the staged inquiry. C049; M021. | Group sequence and loss dates. | One notice date automatically suffices for every later separation. | Review any generic official treatment of staged employment losses. | A/H |
| B17 — Conditional notice | Definite contingency and necessary <60-day consequence are required, with complete content. C051; M025. | Definite event and necessary consequence. | An indefinite risk warning is compliant conditional notice. | Read any official generic clarification of definiteness under §639.7(a)(3). | A/H |
| B18 — Postponement/extension | Less-than-60 and at-least-60 postponements receive different additional-notice treatment. C061–C063; M027–M029. | Original notice, revised event and length/cause of change. | Repeated rolling notices preserve compliance indefinitely. | Examine any amended §639.10 or official generic clarification of schedule changes. | A/H |
| B19 — Faltering-company exception | Closing only; active efforts, realistic opportunity, sufficient capital/business and objective reasonable good faith are cumulative. C071–C072. | Every financing/business predicate and company-wide context. | Financial hardship alone excuses notice, or this route covers every mass layoff. | Read any later published amendment or generic interpretation of §639.9(a). | A/H |
| B20 — Unforeseeable circumstances | Causation and foreseeability at the notice-required point matter; commercial reasonableness governs. C073–C074. | Cause, prediction context and timing. | A sudden-event label proves the defense. | Examine generic official explanation of the foreseeability standard without selecting an actual event. | A/H |
| B21 — Natural disaster | Direct causation and practicable available notice remain necessary under the regulatory text. C070, C075. | Directness, available information and practicability. | A disaster produces automatic zero-notice immunity. | Examine any official clarification of §2102(b)(2)(B) alongside (b)(3), without location/event queries. | A/H |
| B22 — Burden/explanation/practicability | Employer bears the regulatory burden; brief basis accompanies actual reduced notice, with required content qualifications. C070–C075. | Demonstration, explanation and feasible notice circumstances. | Merely naming an exception establishes it; after-event notice always suffices. | Review published generic explanation of what the statutory brief basis must convey. | A/H |
| B23 — Remedy formula and offsets | Liability depends on violation/loss and uses separate pay, benefit, duration and reduction provisions. C076–C084; M032–M038. | Violation, rates, employment days, benefits, payment character and unresolved day conventions. | Every worker is owed 60 days; all severance offsets; penalty is per employee. | Identify whether later public statutory/regulatory text resolves the particular measurement issue; judicial merits remain held. | A/H |
| B24 — Judicial discretion and enforcement | Good faith/reasonable grounds may support discretionary reduction; fees and litigation provisions have their own predicates. C085–C089, C094. | Standing, venue, prevailing status, court findings and applicable procedural law. | DOL decides damages, fees are automatic, or a universal filing period was supplied. | Examine generic public procedural authority only in a separately authorized component. | A/H |
| B25 — Other-law/contract rights | Additional rights are preserved, notice periods concurrent, collective agreements cannot reduce WARN rights. C090–C092. | Independently applicable law/agreement and its actual terms—all held. | WARN displaces every other right or adds its period consecutively to all others. | Identify a separate generic other-law component without examining an agreement. | A/H |
| B26 — Official-currentness gap | Latest failed pages, older accessible labels and uncompleted correction history remain distinct. C002–C006, C106; S012–S014. | Latest bodies for specified sections; full correction body and later-law chain. | Failed access proves repeal, or the host’s current date authenticates every page. | Reopen the official current section bodies and actual correction instrument through ordinary public access. | P/U |
| B27 — Business/gig/owner status | Partners and genuine separately employed/self-employed assigned workers have specific treatment; nonprofits and public-business entities have different rules. C011–C012, C019–C020. | Legal relationship and organizational category. | “Gig,” owner, nonprofit or public label answers the whole inquiry. | Examine generic official worker/employer-classification authority, keeping full common-law merits held. | A/H |
| B28 — Unemployment/severance/actual recovery | WARN’s notice/remedy provisions do not themselves decide those other entitlements or collectibility. C078–C089, C107. | Separate legal authority and actual determinations, expressly outside scope. | WARN notice guarantees income or a successful payment recovery. | Define a later independent public-law component for the selected additional program/right. | X |
| B29 — Stale transfer locator | The operative text contains the described transfer rule and an unresolved internal locator. C029, C104. | Authenticated correction or authoritative legal reconciliation. | Silently replacing the locator establishes the legal correction. | Obtain the relevant official correction history for §639.3(f)(4). | P/U |
| B30 — Broader financial consequences | No selected provision establishes debt forbearance, tax treatment, protected funds, bankruptcy priority or settlement suitability. C107. | Separate regimes and facts, all held. | A notice violation authorizes missed payments, debt offsets or negotiations. | Address only a separately scoped generic public-law question in a later component. | X |

| L08 — DOL preamble HTML | https://www.dol.gov/general/topic/training/warn-reg-preamble initially returned page/navigation material; later material-body requests returned 403. | No substantive conclusion relies on unseen HTML. Actual final-rule PDF text supplies the adopted preamble findings. |
| L09 — Correction lead | S014’s full April 26 issue exceeded retrieval size; HTML failed. A public mirror also exceeded retrieval size: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/5b/Federal_Register_1989-04-26-Vol_54_Iss_79%28IA_sim_federal-register-find_1989-04-26_54_79%29.pdf. Attempted FederalRegister citation-locator routes did not yield the correction body. | Correction content and page location remain unverified. Neither official search excerpts nor the mirror’s search excerpt supplies a legal proposition. |
| L10 — Necessary cross-references | Selected complete NLRA/RLA representative provisions, ERISA plan definitions and WIOA recipient/function provisions read. Latest §1002 and §3174 routes failed; earlier official current-labeled alternatives succeeded. | Narrow incorporation only; not whole-regime or complete-history review. The later indexed §1002(18) enactment was opened and read. |
| L11 — Discovery material outside scope | Searches sometimes returned unrelated legal material, older summaries and an unsolicited judicial-result hit. | No actual case/opinion/docket result was opened or adopted. No identifying query was made. No actual employer notices, State lists, rosters or private records were investigated. |
| L12 — Read-bound verification | S003’s entire Act; S002’s complete Part 639 in both formats; S004’s complete codified Part 639 and named complete preamble discussions; S005/S006’s specified enacted clauses read. | Parsed text is identified as parsed text. Adjacent returned material is not presented as a reviewed additional program or whole instrument. |

| Gap | What remains unresolved | Why the answer stops there | Exact next permissible public-law inquiry |
|---|---|---|---|
| G01 — Section-specific currentness | Later-current bodies for §§2103–2108 and the latest routes for §1002 and §3174 were not accessible. | Successful official alternatives have older displayed currency; the general currency page does not cure that limitation. | Reopen the official latest bodies and inspect actual materially affecting later enactments. |
| G02 — Correction/later-history chain | Actual April 26, 1989 correction body and an exhaustive later correction/amendment chain. | Search excerpts are not accepted as enacted/corrective text; full issue retrieval failed. | Obtain the official correction body, with verified printed page and read extent. |
| G03 — 90-day equality | Whether exact equality to the event minimum is treated identically under the statute’s “exceed” and regulation’s “reach” wording. | No silent textual repair or judicial consensus is permissible from these sources. | Seek an official correction or generic published clarification; judicial reconciliation stays outside this pass. |
| G04 — Stale internal locator | The legal treatment of §639.3(f)(4)’s reference to nonexistent §639.3(h)(4). | It is present in both the original final-rule text and current compilation. | Read authenticated correction history for this exact locator. |
| G05 — Recipient/time interaction | Effect of changed representation between notice-required time and actual notice; present operation of the older Governor-transition language. | Different textual formulations and later State-recipient amendments are visible; no actual designation or representation facts are supplied. | Examine generic published authority addressing those textual interactions. |
| G06 — Calculation conventions | Partial-week averaging, hours-reduction baseline, month boundaries, remedy compensable days/rate conversion, and specific procedural time-counting rules. | The selected provisions do not supply every necessary convention; no facts or judicial analysis were authorized. | Read only the indispensable generic authority for a particular convention in a separately bounded inquiry. |
| G07 — Worker/employer classification merits | Actual employee status, independent-business relationships, constructive discharge, temporary-project understanding and single-site application. | Regulatory factors are not findings of fact; full judicial/common-law merits are held. | A generic definitional clarification may be examined; no employer/worker record inquiry follows. |
| G08 — Incorporated regimes | Full NLRA/RLA representation merits, ERISA/IRC plan classification, WIOA program eligibility and benefits, and their complete histories. | Only the narrow incorporations necessary to understand WARN were examined. | Address the exact next definitional question only if indispensable; otherwise retain the boundary. |
| G09 — Actual remedy and other-law consequences | Limitations/tolling, actual standing or venue, damages, fees, collectibility, priority, tax, unemployment, severance, protected funds, bankruptcy and debt consequences. | These require additional law, facts, judicial determinations or other A073 components expressly held. | A later independent generic public-law component, without importing this report as proof of an actual entitlement. |
Check · Result · 10 data rows
| Check | Result |
|---|---|
| Independent source work | Earlier reports and conversations were not used as legal or factual foundations. |
| Complete selected bodies | All nine selected statutory bodies and all ten Part 639 sections were read; currentness differences remain expressly disclosed. |
| Nested qualifications | Part-time counting, recall, business relationships, site rules, transfers, sales, temporary employment, labor-event qualifications and reduced-notice predicates are included. |
| Notice completeness | Actor, each recipient category, recipient-specific content, written delivery, ordinary timing, staged/conditional notice and changes are distinguished. |
| Remedy completeness | Rate floor, benefits, both employee-duration limits, mandatory reductions, possible service-credit reduction, local penalty/exception, discretion, fees, enforcement and other-law savings are separated. |
| Quantity handling | Source-stated measures are registered with bases, triggers, boundaries and limits. No actual count, amount or calendar was calculated. |
| Source integrity | Failed originals, ordinary alternatives, displayed currency, enactment/effective dates and read bounds are separated. No failed source or snippet establishes absence of law. |
| Scope restraint | No actual or invented identifying record query, employer/worker investigation, notice drafting, filing, contact, claim recommendation or financial action was undertaken. |
| Worksheet integrity | All authority-entry, evidence-entry, analysis and result cells are blank. |
| Review/acceptance status | This is the researcher’s self-check, not independent review. No component, A073/parent, operational or publication acceptance is asserted. |
