Employee Rights Under Wisconsin's Business Closing/Mass Layoff Law (Spanish) Poster

The Employee Rights Under Wisconsin's Business Closing/Mass Layoff Law (Spanish) is a Wisconsin general labor law poster poster provided for businesses by the Wisconsin Department Of Workforce Development. This notification is required for some employers, such as employers with 50 or more spanish speaking employees.

This poster discusses, in Spanish, the rules and regulations of the State of Wisconsin with respect to the closing of businesses or the mass layoff of workers. Indeed, under Wisconsin law, employees have certain rights and employers have certain obligations to give proper notice to their employees and others before taking such decisive actions.

The poster goes on to define business closing and mass layoff as both are recognized by the State of Wisconsin. It then goes on to describe who must provide notice of either business closing or a mass layoff and when they must do so. More specifically, employers with 50 or more employers are beholden to all the stipulations of the Business Closing/Mass Layoff Notification Law of Wisconsin. Employers with less than 50 employees are not compelled to follow all the stipulations of the law but are still encouraged by the State to do so. The poster then goes on to discuss which employees are entitled to receive notice of either a mass layoff or closing of a business. Finally, it discusses what employees are entitled to in terms of compensation or damages if an employer is required to give notice of either occurrence but fails to do so.

Anyone wishing to file a complaint under the provisions of this law or in need of more information concerning it is encouraged to contact the Equal Rights Division of the State of Wisconsin's Department of Workforce Development.
