Fair Warning Act of 2025

The Fair Warning Act of 2025 requires employers with 50 or more employees (or $2 million+ annual payroll) to provide 90 days' written notice before site closings or mass layoffs. This notice must include details about the layoff, recall dates, available benefits, and job opportunities at other locations, and must be provided to affected employees, state workforce agencies, and local governments. Exceptions include natural disasters, terrorist attacks, public health emergencies, and situations where new business or financing would be jeopardized by the notice. The bill creates a public database tracking all notices and increases penalties for non-compliance, including liquidated damages equal to 30 days of back pay.
