Top Employers Filing in Utah

Laid off in Utah?

If your employer filed a WARN notice in Utah, you are entitled to 60 days advance written notice before your last day. During the notice period, you remain employed with regular pay and benefits. If your employer gave less than 60 days notice, you may be entitled to back pay and benefits for each day of the shortfall. After your last day, file for unemployment insurance with the Utah Dept of Workforce Services as soon as possible. Review your COBRA options to continue health coverage for up to 18 months. Visit your local America's Job Center for free career counseling, resume help, and retraining vouchers. Ask specifically about Rapid Response services, which are designed for WARN-affected workers.

WARN Act rules in Utah

Utah 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
Utah Department of Workforce Services

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 Utah 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.
