19 Del. Admin. Code § 1103-1.0

Current through Reigster Vol. 28, No. 6, December 1, 2024

Section 1103-1.0 - Purpose and Scope

1.1 The Delaware Worker Adjustment and Retraining Act, 19 Del.C. Ch. 19, protects workers by requiring employers to provide notification of mass layoffs, plant closings, or relocations at least 60 calendar days in advance. Advance notice allows workers time to adjust, to seek and obtain new employment, and to take advantage of services and benefits offered by the Department of Labor and other service providers, if necessary. This regulation is prescribed pursuant 19 Del.C. § 1908(a) to carry out the State WARN Act.

1.2 This regulation establishes basic definitions and standards for giving notice under the State WARN Act, as well as the administrative procedures for the Department to enforce it. The Department's objective is to establish clear principles, broad guidelines, and simple but robust procedures for hearing alleged violations.
