Mississippi has no separate state layoff notice statute. Employers here follow the federal WARN Act, which sets the floor in every state.
Federal WARN requires 60 days written notice before a covered plant closing or mass layoff, and reaches employers with 100 or more employees.
Because Mississippi adds no state requirement, a layoff below those thresholds can be entirely lawful with no notice at all, and will not appear in the filings on this page. What WARN does not cover.
