WARN Act rules in Florida

Florida has no separate state layoff notice statute. Employers here follow the federal WARN Act, which sets the floor in every state.

53%

of measured filings have a recorded date gap of at least 60 days

Measured across 537 filings where both the notice date and the layoff date are on record. Median 60 days. This does not determine legal compliance or notice received by workers.

Notice required
60 days
Employers covered
100 or more employees, under federal WARN.
What triggers notice
A plant closing affecting 50 or more employees at a single site in 30 days, or a mass layoff of 500 or more, or 50 to 499 if they are at least 33 percent of the site workforce.

Florida Department of Commerce, REACT team

What the federal standard means here

Federal WARN requires 60 days written notice before a covered plant closing or mass layoff, and reaches employers with 100 or more employees.

Because Florida 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.

Why short notice is not automatically a violation

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 47 percent figure shows is that the 60 days people expect is not what they typically get.
