Foxtrot and Dom’s are facing a class action lawsuit for allegedly violating the WARN Act by failing to provide employees with at least 60 days notice of a mass layoff. The complaint states that employees, including Moore and Roatis, were not informed ahead of time about the company ceasing operations and were instead terminated abruptly. In addition to the lack of notice, the lawsuit also alleges that employees were not paid their wages, commissions, bonuses, and accrued holiday and vacation pay for the required 60 days. Foxtrot sent a memo to its employees stating that they will be paid for hours worked through Tuesday, but any accrued sick leave time will not be compensated. The lawsuit seeks to recover these unpaid monies for the employees.
