Mass Layoffs and Wages Notice
Printer Friendly Version
A Wages Notice provides general information to EDD staff regarding separation
status and payments received by employees at the time they become unemployed.
The notice advises EDD staff as to whether the payments will affect the
claimants' unemployment insurance benefits. A Wages Notice reduces the number
of calls to the employers and encourages consistent decisions from EDD staff
concerning these payments.
The Department will issue a Wages Notice when all of the following
criteria are met:
- Definite or indefinite layoff, including reduction in force, closures,
holiday/vacation shutdowns, etc.;
- The layoff affects 10 or more employees;
- The employer will pay the affected employees post-employment payments,
other than severance pay, such as, in-lieu-of-notice pay, wage continuation,
pension, bonuses, etc.
You may request that a Wages Notice be issued for your company by completing the
Wages Notice Request forms that are appropriate for your situation. In some
cases, if your company is paying different types of payments, you may need to
complete more than one form. The completed forms may be faxed or mailed to the
Department as noted in the instructions. For more information about the Wages
Notice Request forms and completion instructions review the
Forms and Publications section of this Web site.
