Some states have addendum, like Illinois:

Nielsen has yet to report.

I'm sure there is something about severance here.
but some people are only getting one week per year so they’re not getting 60 days? right?
There doesn't appear to be any Nielsen reporting for last year either (also checked a couple other states, same thing) so it seems they get around reporting by paying the severance...since their potential liability for not reporting would ostensibly be equivalent to 60 days pay & benefits it seems in theory the company offers sufficient severance to preclude it from penalties of not reporting.

Sorry to hear there's more layoffs going on. Good luck to all.
"...the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act does require employers to EITHER give a 60-day notice of a mass layoff or pay 60 days of salary and benefits..."(source Justia)
"PAY IN LIEU OF WARN NOTICE
Can I pay my workers their salary and benefits for 60 days in lieu of notice?
Neither the Act nor the regulations recognize the concept of pay in lieu of
notice. WARN requires notice, making no provision for any alternative.
Failure to give notice does a significant disservice to workers and undermines other services that are part of the purpose of the WARN Act. HOWEVER,
since WARN provides that the MAXIMUM EMPLOYER LIABILITY for damages,
including back pay and benefits, is for the period of violation up to 60 days,
providing your employees with full pay and benefits for the 60-day period
effectively precludes any relief." (source Illinois Work Net)
"How companies avoid the WARN Act?
...the employer has only two basic alternatives. The first is to lay off employees without notice and either give them pay and benefits in lieu of WARN Act notice or face the prospect of being ordered by a court to do so." (source Bloomberglaw.com)
What happens if you violate WARN Act?
An employer who violates the WARN provisions is liable to each employee for an amount equal to back pay and benefits for the period of the violation, up to 60 days, but no more than half the number of days the employee was employed by the employer. (source edd.ca.gov)
I don't see anything on Florida or New York even for the last year.
