I work for an Atlanta based company here in New York City and have suspicions that my store will be closed down and that the owner is well aware of the situation. My question is for a store of 5 employees what are the laws for a store closing such as how many days in advance does she have to tell us that we are closing. I know there are certain laws for stores of 50 or more but not sure about small companies. So if anyone can help and let me know the laws and let me know if it would be legal to sue her if she doesn't give us enough warning? I've been here a year but my coworkers have only been here 3 months so they wouldn't be able to get unemployment and we would also need time to look for a new job. Please help.

start looking for that new job now
unless google finds a specific to NY law that says otherwise, small businesses are exempt from the notification rules that big businesses have to follow.
you could, quite literally, go in to work Monday, or the 2nd of January and find the door locked. No notice at all.

Unless you have a state law in New York that covers this, they don't have to give you any notice. One of my former employers shut down this year and everyone found out on the last afternoon of work.

right this is the dilema. If she is going out of buisness and would not notify you, who to you sue. the save is out of buisness. even although, she ought to come as much as you the next day and assist you to comprehend that your now not needed. She is under no criminal criminal accountability to supply you any word in any respect. start up looking now. you're under no criminal criminal accountability to inform her you're looking.
