How do I send the California WARN Act notices?

To Employees.

When providing the required notice, any reasonable method of delivery that ensures receipt of notice is acceptable (e.g., first class mail, personal delivery with optional signed receipt, electronic mail, etc.).

To EDD.

Please send an email to eddwarnnotice@edd.ca.gov. Please provide the following information in the e-mail to EDD:

  • The notice (as an attachment or within the body of the e-mail); and
  • Contact information for an employer representative in the event that EDD needs information.
  • The name of the employer in the subject of the email.

Attachments should be compatible with Microsoft Office or Adobe Reader software.

An employer may request acknowledgment of the receipt of their notification by including a request for acknowledgement in the e-mail.

To the Local Workforce Development Board and Chief Elected Officials. Your Local Workforce Development Areas (Local Areas) will assist you in contacting the chief elected officials in those communities affected by the planned layoff or closure.
