Our client, Chasing Streams, LLC, needs to know whether or not it might be liable to either or both employees who filed suit against it for violation of the California and/or Federal WARN Act. Please juxtapose the provisions of the Act to the company files. Write your reply back to me so I can decide next steps.

Streams cannot be held liable under the Federal or California WARN Act for terminating either Yvonne Sanchez or William Ito. Under both Acts, a 60-day notice is required for employees of six months or more. Yvonne's notice was five days short of the 60-day notice requirement, but she had not been with the company for six months. William Ito was properly noticed, as his layoff notice was dated more than 60 days. For these reasons, Streams cannot be held liable for either employee.
