According to the WARN Act, an employer with 200 employees is required to provide 60 days' notice of a mass layoff when which of the following is true?

  1. The employer is seeking additional funding and will lay off 70 employees if the funding falls through.
  2. A major client unexpectedly selects a new vendor for the company's products, and the company lays off 75 employees.
  3. The employer lays off 5 employees a week for 3 months.
  4. A flood requires that one of the plants be shut down for repairs, and 55 employees are laid off.

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

Answer option C is correct. The WARN Act requires employers to provide 60 days' notice when 500 employees or 33 percent of the workforce are laid off, and it requires the number to be counted over a period of 90 days. Five employees a week for 3 months is a total of 65 employees (5 employees times 13 weeks), which is 33 percent of the workforce. The three exceptions are the "faltering company exception" (A) when knowledge of a layoff will negatively impact the company's ability to obtain additional funding, the "unforeseeable business circumstance" (B) when unexpected circumstances occur, and the "natural disaster" (D) exception. See Chapter for more information.

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

Answer option C is correct. The Drug-Free Workplace Act of 1988 requires only federal contractors and subcontractors to establish substance abuse policies. A fair and effective policy will describe which employees will be tested (D), whether it is all or specific job groups. The policy should describe (B) when tests will be done (pre-employment, randomly, on reasonable suspicion, or according to a predetermined schedule), what drugs are included in the process, and the consequences for employees who test positive (A). See Chapter 8 for more information.
