The New Jersey rule in one paragraph
A state advance-notice statute requires notice of a mass layoff or plant closing: 60 days in most mini-WARN states, 90 days in New York, with per-day damages for a shortfall.
What to do: If notice was short, ask for the notice date in writing. The per-day math is built from that date.
State specifics: Reported N.J.S.A. 34:21-1: 50+ employees, mass layoff of 25+ at one establishment within 14 days, closure, or relocation, plus notice to the state and the local official. New Jersey also adds severance near one month per year of service. Statute text was not re-verified in this build.
