This page collects every WARN Act notice on record for Ohio — 400 workers across 1 filings. The federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act of 1988 requires employers with 100 or more staff to give 60 days' written notice before a mass layoff (500+ workers at a site, or 50+ when that is at least a third of the workforce) or a plant closing; Ohio reports through its own rapid-response and dislocated-worker program. Each notice below lists the employer, the number of jobs affected, the location, and the filing date, drawn directly from the state's published filings — use them to see which employers and industries are cutting, and when.
Ohio WARN threshold: Employers must file WARN notices when laying off 50+ workers. Ohio has a stricter threshold than the federal 100-employee minimum.

Reading Ohio's WARN Act Filings
Ohio has 1 WARN notice on record affecting 400 workers, with the most recent filing dated Mar 1, 2023. Reporting floor: 50+ workers (stricter than federal — captures mid-sized layoffs the federal threshold misses).
Average notice size: 400 workers — mid-scale restructuring (department-level cuts, capacity consolidation). WARN Act framework + worker rights →
A few caveats are worth keeping in mind when you read these numbers. WARN notices are advance warnings, not confirmed outcomes — some filings are later withdrawn, postponed, or end up affecting fewer people than first projected, while voluntary buyouts and slow attrition never appear in this dataset at all. The law also exempts smaller employers and any layoff below the reporting threshold, so a quiet state on this page is not automatically a healthy labor market; it may simply file fewer covered notices. Treat these totals as a floor on visible disruption and a timeline of the largest, best-documented cuts, then open an individual notice to see the employer, the location, and the effective date behind each figure.
