Barclays Services Corp. is in the news this week, and readers ask what the public records say about the employer. The Labor Department's H-1B data lists 606 certified wage filings under the name, and state layoff records list 1 notice in the latest year.
Employers that sponsor H-1B workers file a labor condition application with the Labor Department. The department publishes its decisions, and the records here hold 606 certified wage filings for Barclays Services Corp.. DOL certified 99.2% of the filings the employer submitted in the months covered; the rest were denied or withdrawn.
A filing is one application for a role, and one application can cover more than one worker. The count describes paperwork on file.
The largest group of filings is for Software Developers, with 324 filings and a median offered annual wage of $160,000. Data Scientists follow with 63 filings at a median of $145,000. The third group, Computer Occupations, All Other, has 46 filings at a median of $165,746.
These are wages the employer offered on the applications. They describe the offer at the time of filing and carry no information about what any person was later paid.
Comparing the same months a year apart gives a like-for-like view. In Jul–Sep 2024 the employer made 106 filings. In Jul–Sep 2025 it made 108, so filings rose by 2%. The trend reads as steady.
Certified H-1B filings, the same months a year apart
State layoff laws require employers to file an advance notice when a site cuts a large number of jobs. For the year from October 21, 2025 to October 20, 2026, the register holds 1 notice under the employer's name, naming 80 workers. The latest is dated February 18, 2026 and covers a site in Whippany, NJ. The year before, the register holds 1 notice naming 78 workers.
Workers named in layoff notices, by year
A notice is an advance filing, and a worker total is a floor because some notices list no headcount.
These figures come from the Labor Department's H-1B disclosure data and from state layoff notices, and they cover filings made under the name Barclays Services Corp.. Other legal entities of a larger group can file under other names, and those filings sit outside this count. Groundwork holds no wage-and-hour case data for this name, so this article makes no statement on that record. The records trail current events by a season or more, and a recent announcement can take months to appear in a state register.
Layoff figures come from state WARN notices in the WARN Notice Register, current through October 20, 2026. A notice is the advance filing an employer with roughly 100 or more employees sends to a state agency before a layoff or closure. A notice that lists no headcount adds no workers to a total, so a worker total is a floor.
Hiring figures count certified H-1B wage filings (labor condition applications) in DOL's disclosure data, covering 15 months of DOL decisions (Jul–Sep 2024, Jul–Sep 2025, Oct 2025–Jun 2026). A filing is an employer's certified wage offer for a job, and a bigger employer files more.
The records cover cases DOL concluded and notices employers filed, and each figure describes what was recorded in them.
