Laid off from Google, Meta, Twitter, or Another Technology Company?
Individual arbitration claims can now be filed by California technology workers who were laid off in a mass layoff.
Former employees of Google, Meta, Twitter, and other technology companies that have experienced mass layoffs may believe their claims are not worth pursuing. Not true! If you were laid off by a technology company in violation of California’s WARN Act, your claim is worth pursuing.
Technology companies like Google, Meta, and Twitter may believe they are not legally required to follow California’s WARN Act. We believe otherwise, and if you were laid off by a technology company in violation of the law, you should contact us for a free case evaluation.
We are here to help you assert your rights under the California WARN Act and get you the compensation you deserve. Together, we can work towards a just resolution for all employees in California.

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.
