About This Data

Missouri follows the federal WARN Act with no additional state-level requirements. The Missouri workforce agency does not publish WARN notices in a form this site can collect, so the filings on this page come from a third-party compilation maintained by layoffdata.com.

WARN Act rules in Missouri

Missouri has no separate state layoff notice statute. Employers here follow the federal WARN Act, which sets the floor in every state.

60%

of measured filings have a recorded date gap of at least 60 days

Notice required
60 days
Employers covered

A plant closing affecting 50 or more employees at a single site in 30 days, or a mass layoff of 500 or more, or 50 to 499 if they are at least 33 percent of the site workforce.

What the federal standard means here

Federal WARN requires 60 days written notice before a covered plant closing or mass layoff, and reaches employers with 100 or more employees.

Because Missouri 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.

Why short notice is not automatically a violation

WARN allows reduced notice for unforeseeable business circumstances, faltering companies seeking capital, and natural disasters. An employer relying on one of those has to say so in the notice. What the 40 percent figure shows is that the 60 days people expect is not what they typically get.
