WARN Act Compliance Checker & Reporting SaaS for Employers/Employees
The WARN Act is complex, with specific thresholds (e.g., employee count, percentage laid off), notice periods, and exceptions that companies often mismanage or exploit, and individuals struggle to understand their rights. A SaaS platform could serve two primary user bases:
- Employers/HR: A tool to help companies proactively assess their WARN Act obligations before layoffs, ensuring compliance and mitigating legal risks. It could guide them through calculations, exceptions, and proper notification procedures.
- Employees/Unions/Legal Aid: A tool that allows individuals or their representatives to easily input layoff details (company size, location, notice given, number laid off) and quickly determine if a potential WARN Act violation has occurred, guiding them on next steps for reporting. The market would be HR departments, legal counsel, and individuals impacted by mass layoffs seeking clarity and action.
