Investigating a potential Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (WARN Act) class action lawsuit against Round Hill Investments LLC, owner of the NECCO (New England Confectionery Candy Company), for an abrupt plant closure on July 24, 2018.  Round Hill states that it plans to sell the company, but the sudden closure came as a surprise to the 230 employees who were given no notice and were told to pick up their final paychecks on July 27, 2018. The federal WARN Act requires employers contemplating mass layoffs to give its employees at least 60 days’ notice or pay employees backpay for the 60 days. If you were laid off by NECCO without receiving 60 days’ notice, please contact us.
