By Emily Brill (January 31, 2025, 6:18 PM EST) -- A former Paramount employee is accusing the studio of violating New York's WARN Act by laying off over 300 New York City-based workers without the legally required 90 days' notice. This individual has urged a federal court to preserve his lawsuit, asserting that the WARN Act applies to him despite working remotely from California. The implications of this case could reshape how remote work is viewed under employment laws, especially regarding notification periods during layoffs.
