The Apple I was a step ahead of most computers of the time featuring a use of aTV as a display system and a cassette interface for recording programs. After obtaining financing for the development of Apple II, the Apple Computer Company was formed in 1970.As the growth of home computer use grew, Apple grew with it. In 1980 the company issued its initial public offering of investment stock. Apple next introduced the MacIntosh Computer in 1983 during the Super Bowl. The computers desktop publishing features provided the foundation for future innovations that have become standard for the company. Today Apple, Inc has more than 33,000 employees and revenues exceeding 42 million dollars.

Thoughtful and careful planning is important not only to ensure compliance with legal requirements, but also help to minimize the adverse effects of a workforce reduction, further reducing the risk of lawsuits. The following checklist provides some practical guidance to assist employers in implementing a reduction in force and to minimize legal risks. This checklist does not address all the possible issues arising from a RIF and we encourage you to consult with counsel as part of your planning and implementation of a RIF. planning and construction of a layoff n Identify triggering events for layoff n Identify possible layoff alternatives (e.g., pay cuts, schedule reductions, temporary shutdowns and vacation/PTO drawdown, reduction of contractor headcount) n Identify affected sites and estimate number of affected employees for WARN and other analyses n Establish the RIF management team: Identify the individuals
