The average recorded date gap for measurable UnityPoint Health filings is 118 days; this does not establish notice received or legal compliance. The Jul 28, 2026 filing for 229 workers in West Des Moines is the third largest filed in Iowa in 2026 and larger than 90 percent of WARN filings nationally.

The current year is incomplete; these totals are not a like-for-like growth comparison.

Data on this site comes from WARN Act filings published by state workforce agencies. Where a state does not publish a usable list, filings come from a third-party compilation and are marked on each row. Filings are updated regularly but may not reflect same-day submissions. Coverage varies by state.
News reports may describe a different time period, geography or company-wide announcement. This page contains 21 filings covering 597 reported workers in the last 24 months. Those figures cannot be reconciled with a headline alone. Use the individual source records above to check locations and dates; filings can include amendments and do not prove that all announced layoffs occurred.
Across 21 filings with usable paired dates, the median recorded gap is 101 days. This is date arithmetic, not a finding about notice received by workers or legal compliance. Source definitions, coverage and exceptions matter.
Severance is negotiable more often than people assume, and the leverage is largest before a notice lands. Financial Samurai's How To Engineer Your Layoff walks through how those conversations actually go, with real severance examples.
