Here's how to check which California companies are planning mass layoffs, major closures

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 23:23:32 GMT

(NEXSTAR) – Between tons of tech layoffs and major retailers closing up shop, it's understandable if you're feeling a little uneasy in terms of job security. In many cases, a California labor law actually allows you to see which employers are planning mass layoffs or branch closures. It's thanks in part to a federal law called the WARN Act, which stands for Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act. Essentially, the law requires large employers to give 60 days of advanced notice when they are large numbers of cutting jobs. California has its own WARN Act that goes even further and requires even medium-sized businesses or nonprofits to comply. The state law applies to any organization that has employed at least 75 people, part-time or full-time, in the past 12 months. Layoffs but low unemployment: What is going on in this strange economy? Those employers are required to issue a notice when they are (1) laying off 50 or more employees in a 30-day period, (2) closing do...
