Company leaders did not disclose the amount of jobs affected by the layoffs, but we're told it didn't reach the threshold for a state WARN notice. WARN notices, which are public disclosures, are required when layoffs exceed 250 employees at a single site or 33 percent of a workforce.

On the 60 Days Notice Question
Here is a collection of previous posts on this topic:

If the company designates that severance benefits are made in lieu of WARN notice, then unemployment benefits may be delayed for up to 60 days.

File today. If you sign an agreement that severance was paid in lieu of notice, then benefits may be delayed 60 days. The April agreement did not say that severance was in lieu of notice and people collected beginning the first full week they were unemployed.

By law they're required to give employees 60 day notice of layoffs. By paying us 8 weeks, they get around this law. It's called pay in lieu of notice. It's not them being compassionate, it's just them avoided lawsuits.

They can give you a 60 day severance payment in lieu of the notice. That's why people get 8 week severance, in that case they do not want to file anything.

60 day notice - Will there be a 60 day notice for laid off employees? Will the employee be paid for those 60 days in addition to the severance?
Well all I was let go this morning already had my office packed up and ready. They claim it was a performance PIP. They plan more layoffs as a chief of the department stated which is not in compliance with the WARN. My manager told me “because there was no notice provided the company so giving you two weeks pay” by they wanted me to sign a waiver of release. I didn’t sign
Remember you have to see how a site is defined in the state regulations. I do not believe all of xerox Webster is a site it is made up of multiple sites but maybe someone can confirm that. At least that's what I've seen in Prior warn notices
Also this is ironic in having hit the Xerox Newsroom.
