On July 18, 2026, the Nebraska Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (“Nebraska WARN Act” or “Act”) will become effective. The Act was signed into law on April 14, 2026, and will heighten the requirements for notifying employees of layoffs or closures beyond what federal law requires. Employers should be aware of the increased requirements created by the Nebraska WARN Act.
In short, the Act requires that employers give at least ninety days’ notice before a business closing or mass layoff. The Act specifies which employers are covered by this Act, which closures or layoffs trigger the notice requirement, who must be sent notice, how notice must be sent, and what employers must include in the notice.
Super Lawyers annually recognizes the top attorneys in each state through a trusted selection process. In the 2026 Super Lawyers Edition, 13 Cline Williams attorneys were honored – 11 were named Nebraska Lawyers and two were recognized as Rising Stars.
