Laser Spine Institute finds itself as the defendant in a proposed Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act class action after the minimally invasive medical treatment provider abruptly closed its Tampa, Florida facility on March 1, allegedly without providing employees with proper advance notice.

Filed against Laser Spine Institute, LLC, LSI Management Company, LLC and LSI Holdco LLC, the lawsuit claims the plaintiff and approximately 500 other employees were terminated without cause as part of the defendants’ facility closure. Under the WARN Act, the suit states, the defendants were required to provide the workers or their representatives with at least 60 days’ advance written notice of their terminations.

The defendants, the lawsuit continues, failed to pay the terminated workers their respective wages, salaries, commissions, bonuses, and accrued holiday and vacation pay, as well as make 401(k) contributions and provide health benefits, that would have accrued for 60 days following their terminations.
