Layoff Letters are essential documents used in the United States when companies need to reduce their workforce due to business circumstances such as economic downturns, reorganizations, or operational changes. These letters must be carefully drafted to comply with federal laws such as the WARN Act, COBRA, and various state-specific requirements. The document serves multiple purposes: it officially notifies employees of their termination, provides legally required information about their rights and benefits, outlines the next steps in the separation process, and creates a record of the communication. Layoff Letters are particularly critical in mass layoff situations where specific federal and state notifications are mandatory, and they must be tailored to include all required elements while maintaining a professional and compassionate tone.
