(2)     occurs in a commercial, industrial, or agricultural enterprise operated by
this State or its political subdivisions;

(3)     occurs at construction sites or other temporary workplaces;

(4)     results from seasonal factors that are determined by the Department to

an employer expects to terminate due to a reduction in operations. Whenever possible
and appropriate, at least 90 days notice shall be given;

(2)     the appropriate continuation of benefits, such as health, severance, and
pension, that an employer should provide to employees who will be terminated due to a
reduction in operations; or
