Have you been laid off by Google, Meta, Twitter, or another technology company?
California technology workers who were laid off in a mass layoff can now file individual arbitration cases.
Former employees of Google, Meta, Twitter, and other technology companies which have experienced mass layoffs may think that their allegations are unworthy of investigation. That is not correct! If you were fired by a technology company, you may be able to file a claim.
Google, Meta, and Twitter may believe they are not legally required to comply with California’s WARN Act. We disagree, and if you were fired by a technology company, please contact us for a free case evaluation.
We are here to assist you in asserting your rights under the California WARN Act and to help you obtain the compensation you are entitled to. We can work together to achieve a just resolution for all California employees.

What is the Cal-WARN Act?
Relocations, Terminations and Mass Layoffs in California are regulated by Labor Code sections 1400-1408
Generally, an employer may not order a mass layoff, relocation, or termination at a covered establishment unless, 60 days before the order takes effect, the employer gives written notice of the order to employees and the Employment Development Department and shall include the notice elements required by the Federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act.
An employer who fails to give notice before ordering a mass layoff, relocation, or termination is liable to each employee entitled to notice who lost his or her employment for back pay and the value of the cost of any benefits the employee may have been entitled to up to a maximum of 60 days or one-half the number of days that the employee was employed by the employer, whichever is smaller.
