(LegalLaw247.com, November 15, 2011 ) New York, NY The attorneys working with Class Action.org are available to review claims from MF Global employees fired during the recent termination of 1,066 employees to determine if these individuals have legal recourse to make a claim for back wages and benefits. The Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act requires that certain employers provide advance notice of significant layoffs to provide employees with a transition period during which they can adjust to their job loss. If MF Global did not give adequate notice under the WARN Act, fired MF Global Inc. employees may be able to take legal action. If you were fired from MF Global, learn more about your potential legal rights by visiting http://www.classaction.org/mf-global-fired-employees.html.
The WARN Act attempts to protect employees and their families by allowing them time to look for other work, receive additional training and otherwise adjust to their job loss. To help protect these individuals, the WARN Act requires that most employers with 100 or more workers provide a 60-day (90 days in New York) notice of mass layoffs. If a company does not comply with the WARN Act, they may be liable, to each employee, an amount equal to back pay and benefits for the violation period, generally up to 60 days.
Those who were fired from MF Global during this termination may have legal recourse to seek compensation for damages if they were not properly notified of the layoff under the WARN Act. To learn more about the legal rights available to these individuals and the potential for a MF Global WARN Act lawsuit, visit Class Action.org today.
