Answer 1

Answer:

B) It must give the employees 60 days' notice before it can begin the layoffs

Explanation:

Workers' Adjustment Retraining and Notification Act, any company who has employees more than 100 needs to give them a 60 days advance before they lay them off.

This act is set for the labor community where the employees well being during the period of unemployment is taken in regard so they along with families do not suffer. Communities benefit through this act.
