Layoffs in Mississippi

Notice rules

Under the federal WARN Act, employers with 100 or more employees generally must give 60 days’ written notice before a plant closing or mass layoff.

We have not yet verified whether Mississippi adds notice rules of its own. Some states do. Your state workforce agency can tell you.
