Iowa employers must file a WARN Act notice with the state before a qualifying mass layoff or plant closing. This page is generated from those filings, cleaned into one schema shared with 45 other states, and rebuilt every day. Nothing here is behind a login.

The data above is free forever — CC BY 4.0, no login, no API key, no delay, rebuilt daily.

If you only care about particular employers or states, you do not have to re-download the whole file and diff it yourself. WARN Watch runs your list against every daily refresh and gives you a private alert page, an RSS feed and an optional Slack/Discord/Teams webhook — no login.

Try it free for 30 days — no card (up to 3 employers or one state) · then $49/year, one-off, no auto-renew, 14-day refund · see a real alert page first

How much notice did Iowa workers actually get?

Of the 407 Iowa notices in the full archive that carry both a notice date and an effective date, 138 (33.9%) span fewer than 60 days.

Year	Notices with both dates	Under 60 days	Share
2026	77	24	31.2%
2018	30	11	36.7%
2017	47	22	46.8%
2016	93	37	39.8%
2015	49	16	32.7%
2014	32	7	21.9%
2013	19	5	n<30
2012	27	7	n<30
2011	33	9	27.3%

Read this before quoting the notice-period numbers. Several states publish the date the state received the filing rather than the date workers were notified, so an interval a little under 60 days is frequently state processing lag rather than a short notice. That is why this dataset publishes state-level and year-level shares and never ranks named employers by notice length.

Method and exclusions: notice-period analysis.
