  "bodyMd": "**Oak Valley Farms** filed a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) with the South Dakota Department of Labor & Regulation, according to [the DLR's public reporting page](https://dlr.sd.gov/workforce_services/businesses/warn_notices.aspx).\n\nThe filing describes a workforce action in Watertown, per a notice the DLR received July 30, 2007. The notice does not state when the workforce action takes effect. 225 employees are affected.\n\nThe federal WARN Act requires employers with 100 or more full-time workers to give 60 days' notice before a plant closing or a mass layoff — job losses at a single site affecting either 50–499 employees who make up at least 33% of that site's workforce, or 500 or more employees regardless of percentage.\n\nWorkers affected by a layoff or closure can find reemployment help through the [South Dakota Department of Labor & Regulation's worker services](https://dlr.sd.gov/workforce_services/individuals/default.aspx).\n\nThis article was drafted from SD DLR public data. See the [corrections ledger](/corrections) if a field is wrong.",
