WARN Act rules in Oklahoma

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

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.
Administered by: Oklahoma Employment Security Commission

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 Oklahoma 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.
