Filed 60+ Days Ahead

Federal WARN generally requires notice 60 days before a layoff takes effect (90 in some states); late filings and statutory exceptions exist, and the notice-period screen shows them. Cross-referenced with SEC 8-K and bankruptcy filings for the same company.

Sample records (public, as filed)

Three rows from the first page of GET /api/records?sort=notice_date&order=desc, captured 2026-09-16 with no API key — the free scope: last 30 days, published with a 7-day delay. A static copy, not a live feed; nine columns drawn from 11 of the record’s 28 fields are shown. Values are as published by each state agency; no accuracy guarantee.

Task it supports: match a filed notice to a ticker, read the headcount and the effective date, and open the state source before acting. ticker is null for private employers; layoff_type is null where the agency does not publish it. Same fields, live and filterable: sample data · record schema · normalization & coverage.
