Answer- 4) The act applies to a business with 100 or more employees, requires 60 days notice if 50 employees at one plant or 1/3 workforce overall and the employer must pay back wages for non-compliance, unless the employer is exempt due to an exception.

Otherwise the employer is required to pay back wages for being non-compliant to the federal regulations.
