Correct Answer: C

Because this company has only 80 full-time employees, the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act of 1988 doesn't apply to this organization. When there are 100 or more employees, or a total of 4,000 or more hours per week, employers are required to give in writing 60 days notice of the impending layoff.
