Howmet Aerospace layoff notices at a glance
Howmet Aerospace has filed 15 WARN notices with the California Employment Development Department between Apr 24, 2020 and Apr 9, 2021, naming 1,017 workers. All were layoffs rather than closures; 7 permanent, 7 temporary, 1 with the type left blank. The largest single notice named 239 workers in San Bernardino County on Jul 15, 2020. Its latest notice, 9 workers in San Bernardino County dated Apr 9, 2021, was 0.2% of the 5,284 workers named in all 80 San Bernardino County notices of fiscal year 2020-2021. 5 of the notices show fewer than 60 days between the notice date and the effective date (see how to read this). 3 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. 9 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.
For Howmet Aerospace the shortest gap shown is 0 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.
3 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.
7 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.
