N.Y. Labor Law § 860-d: Extension of mass layoff period

§ 860-d. Extension of mass layoff period. A mass layoff of more than

six months which, at its outset, was announced to be a mass layoff of

six months or less shall be treated as an employment loss under this

article unless:

1. the extension beyond six months is caused by business circumstances

(including unforeseeable changes in price or cost) not reasonably

foreseeable at the time of the initial mass layoff; and

2. notice is given at the time it becomes reasonably foreseeable that

the extension beyond six months will be required.
