What a brief looks like
Example
The employer, records, numbers and dates below are invented. Sample notice links are illustrative.
Your weekly brief
Covers Oct 21, 2026 to Oct 27, 2026.
Check saved: Oct 28, 2026, 15:00 UTC. The dates above identify the scheduled reporting week. Records are compared at saved checks, rather than filtered by their notice or effective dates.
Example Employer, Inc.
Records in WA only.
Found this week
Newly found by Groundwork: Example Employer, Inc. warehouse
Tacoma, WA. 120 workers. Notice date Oct 20, 2026. Effective date unlisted.
Newly found in Groundwork's compared snapshot; this is not necessarily a newly filed notice.
State notice
About this data
Lists below come from the source data as imported on the dates shown.
Last import attempt: Oct 28, 2026, 06:00 UTC.
Last successful import: Oct 28, 2026, 06:02 UTC.
Source snapshot written: Oct 28, 2026, 06:03 UTC.
These are three different events, and none of them means every state was checked at that time.
Groundwork reads the WARN listings that state agencies publish, as the register it imports collects them. This brief identifies no affected roles, because the structured data it is built from has no role field. A state's own notice document may name positions, so check the source document linked with each record. An empty week says nothing about how secure any job is. How to read these notices.
Your paid access ends Jan 12, 2027, 15:00 UTC. It is a one-time purchase and never renews on its own. Free alerts keep working after it ends.

Your weekly brief
Covers Oct 14, 2026 to Oct 20, 2026.

This is the first saved check for this employer. Changes cannot be assessed yet, because there is no earlier saved check to compare with. Any records below are what the source data held at this check.

What you get and how checks work
- US$9, paid once. Access lasts 90 days from when our site verifies and records your payment.
- It never renews on its own. When the 90 days end, weekly checks stop and you decide whether to buy again. Saved briefs remain readable until account erasure.
- Up to 5 employers. A supported state is required for employers with territory notices; other employers have an optional US-state filter.
- A saved watchlist and weekly briefs, with email copies while your paid-email preference and the service are active. Uncertain email handoffs stay held for review.
The brief reports what the state WARN listings Groundwork imports contain, with the notice date and the effective date as each state gives them, and it says so when the data behind a week was out of date. It names no risk score and no affected roles, and says nothing about job openings. An empty week says nothing about how secure any job is. How to read a WARN notice.
The free alerts stay free. Existing free alerts keep sending a message when new notices or articles name an employer, at no charge and with no account.
The first check saves a starting list. Later checks compare it with the records we hold that week.
Source coverage and your first check
Monitoring compares saved copies of the WARN Notice Register, which collects state agencies' layoff notices. State filters support US states and the District of Columbia. Agency publication and Groundwork's imports determine when a record can appear in a check.
Choosing an employer from this directory establishes that it has listed notices. A usable first check also needs current, readable source data and records that can be compared reliably. The first usable check saves a baseline; later usable checks report differences from it.
If an employer also has territory notices, choose a supported state. This pilot cannot compare an all-states watch for that employer. A state filter leaves out territory notices and records with an unlisted state.
When a check cannot be completed, the saved brief explains the reason and keeps the earlier successful comparison, if any. Changes during an unavailable check remain unknown. An empty check says nothing about how secure any job is.
