Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is D because the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (WARN) of 1988 does not mandate severance pay in case of mass layoffs or plant closings. While WARN requires employers to give 60 days' notice of mass layoff or plant closings, it does not require severance pay. However, some companies may choose to offer severance pay as part of their own policies or agreements with their employees.
