If 50 to 199 employees are terminated, they are entitled to how many weeks of notice?

• A. 8 weeks
• B. 4 weeks
• C. 12 weeks
• D. 16 weeks

Answer: (A)

Group termination rules apply when a large number of employees are laid off at once. If 50 or more employees are terminated within a short period, the employer must give the affected workers a minimum amount of notice. The standard minimum in this mass-termination scenario is eight weeks. So, for a batch of 50 to 199 employees, eight weeks of notice is the required baseline. In some larger-scale terminations, longer notice can be required, but this item is targeting the established eight-week minimum for mass terminations within that range.
