Most of the employees will be laid off on Feb. 1.

A small team of employees will remain in place through March 31 to finalize operational details of the closure.

The WARN Act is federal legislation that offers protection to workers, their families and communities by requiring employers to provide notice 60 days in advance of a covered-business closing and covered-business mass layoff. However, there are some exceptions to the 60-day notification requirement. The company said in the WARN notice it was unable to provide 60 days, because talks broke down with the supplier suddenly and that it does not have sufficient funds to support 60 additional days of employment for all of its Reading employees.
