WARN Act Compliance Toolkit
WARN counting is where employers get caught. The toolkit runs every window, reads every test as an exposure flag routing to counsel, and drafts the notices, never a clearance.

- California SB 617 addendum with the notice-content items effective 1 January 2026

Six files from the first count to the last letter
The guide to understand the rules, the calculator to run the windows, and the letters to deliver the notice, built to be used together on one reduction.
Start Here
How the pieces fit and the order to work in, with the counsel instruction front and center.
WARN Act Compliance Guide
The counting rules in plain language: coverage and the employment-loss definitions, the threshold math and the 90-day aggregation trap on a worked example, the four-state mini-WARN table, the notice recipients and required content per audience, remote workers as dated risk guidance, and the exceptions and penalties.
WARN Threshold and Aggregation Calculator
Log employment losses by date; every row computes the qualifying losses in the rolling 30-day and 90-day windows, with short layoffs under 6 months zero-weighted, the 33% share test, five federal reads, and a per-state read for California, New York, Illinois, and New Jersey. A timeline tab counts the notice clock back from the separation date. Opens on a worked example.
WARN Notice Letter Templates
Four letters carrying the required content elements per recipient class: affected employees, union representatives, the state dislocated worker unit with the short-form option, and the chief elected official, plus the California SB 617 addendum, each with a delivery-record prompt. Opens in Word or Google Docs.
The method in the order a compliant reduction runs
Count first, calendar second, letters third. Every step routes to counsel where the law turns on facts.
Log the losses and run the windows
Every contemplated separation goes in with a date; the calculator computes each rolling 30-day and 90-day window, applies the 33% test, and zero-weights short layoffs so logging them never inflates the math.
Read the exposure
Five federal reads plus the state read for your jurisdictions, each an exposure flag with the reasoning visible, and never a clearance.
Build the timeline
The notice clock counts back 60 or 90 calendar days from the separation date, adds a send-by cushion for delivery, and marks the counsel milestone before either.
Draft and deliver the notices
One letter per recipient class with the required elements, the California addendum where it applies, and a delivery-record prompt on each, with counsel review before anything is sent.
Built to flag exposure, never to clear you
A spreadsheet that says you are clear is how employers get caught. Every read in this toolkit is an exposure flag that routes to counsel, and every threshold is dated.
The rule behind thisWARN Act thresholds and the state laws that go further ›The toolkit tells you when to call a lawyer
WARN turns on counts, sites, and windows that are easy to get wrong, and the state overlays count differently. These route to employment counsel before any date is set.
Who it is built for
Who this fits, and where to go if that is not you.
Built for
- An operator or HR lead planning a reduction anywhere near the thresholds and wanting the counting done before counsel starts the clock.
- A lean HR team that needs the notice letters and the timeline in one place under deadline.
- A consultant supporting a client through a restructure.
If you are looking for
- The selection and severance side of the reduction. The RIF and Restructure Planning Kit covers defensible selection, adverse impact, and releases.
- The whole reduction in one purchase. The RIF Complete System bundles this toolkit with the planning kit and the savings planner.
