All data on this site is sourced from official WARN Act filings published by state workforce agencies. Filings are updated regularly but may not reflect same-day submissions. Coverage varies by state.
News reports may describe a different time period, geography or company-wide announcement. This page contains 8 filings covering 700 reported workers in the last 24 months. Those figures cannot be reconciled with a headline alone. Use the individual source records above to check locations and dates; filings can include amendments and do not prove that all announced layoffs occurred.
Across 6 filings with usable paired dates, the median recorded gap is 61 days. This is date arithmetic, not a finding about notice received by workers or legal compliance. Source definitions, coverage and exceptions matter.
Severance is negotiable more often than people assume, and the leverage is largest before a notice lands. Financial Samurai's How To Engineer Your Layoff walks through how those conversations actually go, with real severance examples.
