CLEVELAND (WJW) – This summer, several companies have planned layoffs in the state of Ohio. Luckily, Ohioans can easily check if their employer is planning serious layoffs or branch closures under a federal law called the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act.

The WARN Act requires employers with 100 or more full-time employees to give 60 days of advanced notice for plant closings or mass layoffs. It also requires employers to give written notification to those who may be affected by any planned layoffs or closures.

It’s a federal law, so the requirements apply in all 50 states. For-profit and non-profit companies are covered by federal law, but government jobs are not.

Many states, including Ohio, make filed WARN notices publicly available online. So, which companies are facing layoffs in Ohio? Here’s the list:

• VS Direct LLC: 120 employees will be laid off March – August 2024
