PayPal layoff notices at a glance
PayPal has filed 13 WARN notices with the California Employment Development Department between Mar 9, 2017 and Aug 30, 2026, naming 1,499 workers. All were layoffs rather than closures; 13 permanent, 0 temporary. The largest single notice named 319 workers in Santa Clara County on Jan 31, 2023. Its latest notice, 251 workers in Santa Clara County dated Aug 30, 2026, was 9.2% of the 2,736 workers named in all 32 Santa Clara County notices of fiscal year 2026-2027. 5 of the notices show fewer than 60 days between the notice date and the effective date (see how to read this). 6 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.
Industry as reported to the EDD: Finance and Insurance.

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 PayPal the shortest gap shown is 17 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.
6 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.
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.
