Your rights in a California layoff

• 60 days’ notice. California’s WARN Act (Labor Code sections 1400–1408) generally requires an employer to give 60 days’ written notice before a mass layoff, relocation or termination at a covered establishment: a facility that employs, or has employed in the past 12 months, 75 or more people.
• What counts. A mass layoff is a layoff of 50 or more employees at the facility within any 30-day period. A relocation is a move of all or substantially all operations 100 or more miles away. A termination is the shutdown of all or substantially all operations.
• What the notice must say. Since January 1, 2026, the notice must also say whether the employer plans to coordinate services, such as a rapid response orientation, through the local workforce development board, through another organization, or not at all. It must also include contact information for the local board and a description of its services, information about CalFresh food assistance, and a working email address and phone number for the employer.
• Pay if notice was not given. An employer that fails to give the required notice is generally liable to each affected employee for back pay and the value of lost benefits for up to 60 days (or half of the time the employee worked there, if that is shorter).
• Your final paycheck. When you are laid off, your final wages are generally due immediately (Labor Code section 201), including earned, unused vacation at your final rate of pay (Labor Code section 227.3).
• Late final pay. If an employer willfully fails to pay final wages on time, it can owe a waiting time penalty of up to 30 days’ wages (Labor Code section 203).
• Unemployment and severance. Laid-off workers can generally apply for unemployment insurance benefits with the EDD. If you are offered severance in exchange for signing a release, have the agreement reviewed before you sign it.
