Fair Warning Act of 2025

This bill changes the federal law that requires employers to warn workers before closing a site or holding a mass layoff. It would cover employers with 50 or more employees or an annual payroll of at least $2,000,000, and would require 90 days of written notice instead of the current period. It lowers the number of job losses that count as a mass layoff or site closing, counts remote workers tied to a site, and adds liquidated damages and a 4-year deadline for lawsuits. It also bars workers' rights under the law from being waived through arbitration or other predispute agreements and directs the Department of Labor to run a public database of layoff notices.
