Work Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) and Other Dislocation Notices - Division of Workforce Development & Adult Learning
Employers must notify the Maryland Department of Labor (MD Labor) of certain layoff and closure events, and if you are an employer facing the prospect of laying off even a single worker, MD Labor and local partners are here to help support you and your impacted employees.
This page explains reporting requirements for layoff and closure events, how to notify MD Labor, and the support services we can provide to organizations of all sizes. At the bottom of the page, you will find a log of formally submitted WARNs, as well as other notifications of dislocation required under state or federal law.
Update on the Economic Stabilization Act
During the 2020 legislative session, Senate Bill 780 passed into law and amended the Maryland Economic Stabilization Act (ESA) under Article II, Section 17(c) of the Maryland Constitution - Chapter 407. The Department of Labor is actively working to develop regulations that facilitate the implementation of this Act and expects that the regulations will be final in late summer/early fall 2025. Until such time that the Department takes final action on the regulations, the Department will not assess civil penalties under this Act. Should you have an interest in this topic, we encourage you to check the Maryland Register Online or contact our Department’s Dislocation Services Unit at sheila.bouloubassis@maryland.gov.

Archive of WARN and other dislocation notices: 2021-2024 records include WARN and voluntary ESA notices, and 2020 and earlier records include WARN notices but not ESA, as that was prior to passage of Maryland’s Economic Stabilization Act. Click below to access prior years' records.
Federal RIF Log
When a federal agency has a Reduction in Force (RIF) in which 50 or more employees are separated, the agency must notify:
- The U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM)
- Other OPM-specified federal and non-federal organizations
- The Maryland Department of Labor, for RIFs at Maryland work locations
To submit a RIF notification to MD Labor, send an email to dlwdalwarn-labor@maryland.gov.
The RIF log below includes all formal notices federal agencies have submitted to MD Labor beginning in 2025, in connection with the requirements for RIFs. Prior to 2025, RIFs were not included on the posted list of dislocation events on our webpage. MD Labor did not receive any RIFs between 2015 and 2025.
