Employers must plan carefully to avoid negative publicity.
Reductions-in-force and plant closures raise numerous issues under federal and state employment laws, including but not limited to those prohibiting discrimination on the basis of age, race, national origin, religion and other prohibited factors; statutes requiring employee notice of RIFs and plant closures; benefits laws covering various employee benefits; and statutes protecting the rights of reservists called for military duty. This white paper reviews guidelines to take into account when considering a RIF or plant closure.
