Paramount Global is facing a class action lawsuit for allegedly violating New York’s Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) act during layoffs that occurred in September, when more than 300 employees lost their jobs in less than a week. The layoffs were part of an ongoing effort to cut Paramount’s domestic workforce by 15%. Notes the lawsuit, which was filed in New York’s Southern District Court on Wednesday, “New York WARN states that if an employee provides any employee with less than 90 days advanced notification of a plant shutdown or mass layoff, the employer shall provide that employee with 60 calendar days of wages and benefits.” Not so fast, responded a Paramount spokesperson, with the statement, “These claims are not grounded in any fact. Paramount employees entitled to Federal or State WARN notice received it.”
