EXPRESS MANUFACTURING layoff notices at a glance
EXPRESS MANUFACTURING has filed 2 WARN notices with the California Employment Development Department between Apr 7, 2020 and Apr 28, 2020, naming 601 workers. All were layoffs rather than closures; 1 permanent, 1 temporary. The largest single notice named 328 workers in Orange County on Apr 7, 2020. Its latest notice, 273 workers in Orange County dated Apr 28, 2020, was 1.6% of the 17,128 workers named in all 180 Orange County notices of fiscal year 2020-2021. 1 notice carries a notice date later than the effective date it announces, which usually means the letter reached the EDD after the separations had begun. 2 fall in the March to June 2020 window when the Governor's COVID order suspended the 60-day requirement.

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.
One notice is 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.
One notice is 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.
