81%
of measured filings have a recorded date gap of at least 60 days
Measured across 16 filings where both the notice date and the layoff date are on record. Median 63 days. This does not determine legal compliance or notice received by workers.
Federal WARN requires 60 days written notice before a covered plant closing or mass layoff, and reaches employers with 100 or more employees.
Because Rhode Island 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.
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 19 percent figure shows is that the 60 days people expect is not what they typically get.
