Nebraska’s mini-WARN Act, enacted under Legislative Bill (LB) 921, defines “mass layoff” as a “reduction in employment force that is not the result of a business closing and results in an employment loss at a single site of employment during any thirty-day period of one hundred or more employees,” not including part-time employees.
A business closing means “the permanent or temporary shutdown of a single site of employment of one or more facilities or operating units that will result in an employment loss for one hundred or more employees, other than part-time employees.”
The law defines “employment loss” as an “employment termination, other than a discharge for cause, voluntary separation, or retirement; a layoff exceeding six months; or a reduction in hours of more than 50 percent of work of individual employees during each month of a six-month period.” This does not include instances when a business closing or mass layoff is the result of a relocation or business consolidation, and the employee has an opportunity to transfer within a reasonable commuting distance with no more than a six-month break in employment.
