Layoffs News: frequently asked questions
Where does GoLayoffs get its layoff news?
From primary sources: WARN notices filed with state labor departments, company filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and official company statements. Each article links to the documents it is based on.
How can I find out if a company filed a WARN notice?
Search our WARN notices tracker, which collects notices from official state sources and is checked every hour, or open the page of the company under Layoffs by company.
Are all layoffs reported in WARN notices?
No. WARN notices cover only layoffs and closures above the legal thresholds at a single site. Smaller cuts, remote workers and many layoffs at small employers do not appear, so the notices show only part of all job cuts.
