ARAMARK layoff notices at a glance
ARAMARK has filed 11 WARN notices with the California Employment Development Department between Dec 15, 2014 and Dec 29, 2020, naming 2,680 workers. 6 were closures and 5 were layoffs; 5 permanent, 6 temporary. The largest single notice named 1,829 workers on Apr 7, 2020. Its latest notice, 69 workers in Contra Costa County dated Dec 29, 2020, was 2.6% of the 2,681 workers named in all 36 Contra Costa County notices of fiscal year 2020-2021. 6 of the notices show fewer than 60 days between the notice date and the effective date (see how to read this). 2 notices carry a notice date later than the effective date it announces, which usually means the letter reached the EDD after the separations had begun. 3 fall in the March to June 2020 window when the Governor's COVID order suspended the 60-day requirement. The same employer appears in 1 U.S. Labor Department wage and hour investigation, with no violations found.

How to read this record
Notice date is the date on the employer's letter. Effective is the first day of separations it announced. Days notice is the gap between them; California Labor Code 1401 calls for 60 days from a covered employer, and section 1402 makes a short notice worth a day of pay and benefits for every day it is short, up to 60.
For ARAMARK the shortest gap shown is 2 days. That is a reason to check whether an exception in 1401(c) or 1402.5 applied, whether the workers received the letter earlier than the EDD did, and whether anyone was let go before the effective date. It is not, by itself, a finding against the employer.
2 notices are dated after the effective date on the same filing. Notice given after the layoff has started is the clearest case the statute addresses: section 1402 counts every day between the separation and the notice as a day owed, up to 60.
6 notices are marked temporary. A temporary layoff that runs past six months is treated as a termination under the federal Act, and the employer should issue a new notice before that point.
Full statute walk-through: the California 60-day rule, section by section.

About this data: Notices come from the California Employment Development Department WARN reports (fiscal years 2014-2015 to today) and are reloaded from the EDD every Tuesday and Thursday. Employer names appear as the employer wrote them on the notice, grouped where the names clearly refer to the same company. A notice is not a finding that any law was broken. This page is general information, not legal advice about your situation.
