April 23 (Reuters) - Tesla will lay off 2,688 employees at its Texas factory, the electric vehicle maker said in a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) notice on Monday.

The WARN Act of 1988 is a U.S. labor law that requires companies with 100 or more employees to notify 60 days ahead of planned closings or mass layoffs. (Reporting by Akash Sriram in Bengaluru; Editing by Shinjini Ganguli)
