How much notice the law requires
California's WARN Act requires 60 days of advance written notice before a covered mass layoff. What makes the California version unusual is how few ways out it gives an employer. The only statutory exception is a physical calamity or an act of war. Federal law has three exceptions, including one for unforeseeable business circumstances, and the California Legislature deliberately declined to copy them.
What this filing shows
The shortest gap in these filings is 0 calendar days between the notice date and the date the jobs end. That is less than the 60 days the statute describes.
This is a fact drawn from the public filing, not a conclusion that anyone broke the law. The date an employer records is not always the date workers were told, employers of different sizes are covered differently, and exceptions can apply. Whether it means anything in your case is exactly what a free consultation sorts out.
Planned Parenthood Mar Monte severance: what to check before you sign
A severance offer is not the same thing as the notice pay the WARN Act describes, and an employer cannot use one to satisfy the other. A release may also give up more than you expect, and an arbitration agreement you signed at hire can affect where a dispute is heard. Read our full guide to the California WARN Act before you decide, and consider having the paperwork looked at.
Two things worth doing this week either way. File for unemployment now, because WARN money does not reduce it. And keep every document, including the notice itself and anything showing when it arrived.

Questions people are asking
What is the Planned Parenthood Mar Monte severance package?
The WARN notice Planned Parenthood Mar Monte filed with the state does not list severance terms, and we do not publish any employer's package. A WARN notice reports how many jobs end, where, and when. Severance is a separate contract offered at the employer's discretion. California law does not require it, and an employer cannot use contractual severance to satisfy what the WARN Act requires, so being offered a package does not by itself answer whether notice pay is also owed. If you have an offer in hand, the terms in front of you are the ones that matter, and they are worth reading closely before the deadline on them runs.
Am I owed severance from Planned Parenthood Mar Monte, Inc.?
California law does not require severance on its own, and a severance offer is a separate thing from WARN pay. An employer cannot use contractual severance to satisfy its WARN obligation, so being offered a package does not answer whether notice pay is also owed.
Does taking the severance reduce what I could recover?
It depends on why the money is being paid. Severance the employer was already obligated to provide — under a contract, a policy, a benefit plan, or a union agreement — cannot be set against what the WARN Act requires. A payment that is genuinely voluntary and unconditional, one the employer had no legal obligation to make, can reduce that liability. Wages for work you actually performed during the notice period are not voluntary severance at all. Which category an offer falls into is a question about the document in front of you, not about the layoff, and it is one of the better reasons to have the paperwork read before the deadline on it runs.
Why do co-workers have different last days?
The filings here list 4 separate last days of work. Employers commonly stagger a reduction so some functions run longer than others. Your own notice period is measured against your date, not the earliest one in the filing, so two people at the same employer can be in genuinely different positions.
What if I did not get 60 days of notice?
California's WARN Act requires 60 days of advance written notice before a covered mass layoff, and its only statutory exception is a physical calamity or an act of war. That is far narrower than federal law, which has three exceptions. The shortest gap in these filings is 0 days, which is 60 short of 60. That is arithmetic on two published dates and not a finding that anyone broke the law: the recorded date is not always the date workers were told, and coverage depends on the employer's size and how many people were let go.
Can I still collect unemployment?
Yes. Under Labor Code section 1407, WARN-related payments are not treated as wages for unemployment purposes, so they cannot be used to deny or reduce your benefits in California. You do not have to wait for your last day — the filings here run through Sep 25, 2025 — and filing early is generally better than filing late.
Does taking a new job hurt my claim?
No. Wages you earn at a new job during the notice period do not reduce what a former employer may owe under WARN. You do not need to delay a job search to protect a claim.
How long do I have to act?
Generally three years. The federal WARN Act sets no limitations period of its own, so courts borrow the closest state deadline, which in California is the three-year period for a liability created by statute. The clock starts when you suffer an employment loss, not when the notice went out. Measured from the last day of work in these filings, Sep 25, 2025, three years runs to about Sep 25, 2028. If this was a layoff rather than an outright termination, the loss may not count until the layoff has lasted more than six months, which can start the clock later still. Treat all of it as an outer edge rather than a plan. Other claims arising from the same layoff run much shorter, and a severance offer usually carries its own deadline measured in days.
What has been reported
Press coverage of this layoff, summarized and attributed. This is reporting rather than the filing itself, and we did not independently verify it.
San José Spotlight reported that Planned Parenthood Mar Monte announced on July 24, 2025 it would close five health centers — in Gilroy, South San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Cruz and Madera — and lay off about 120 staff across the affiliate, after the federal budget bill prohibited Medicaid reimbursements to large nonprofit health care organizations that provide abortion care. The affiliate estimated it could lose roughly $100 million a year, more than half its revenue, if the defunding stands.
The affiliate also eliminated family medicine, behavioral health and prenatal care services across remaining locations, and 10 administrative staff supporting clinic operations were laid off in San Jose even as its four San Jose clinics stayed open, per San José Spotlight.
Details worth knowing
- In Bakersfield, the two affected employees were the central follow-up coordinator and the volunteer services coordinator; KGET reported the layoff date was July 24 with the positions permanently eliminated September 24, and quoted HR vice president Gregory Krause citing 'the recent loss of significant grants and the anticipated loss of federal funding.'
- The Business Journal reported the Fresno (4 positions) and Madera (11 positions) terminations noticed in July were finalized on September 24, 2025; the Madera clinic closed entirely while Planned Parenthood continues to operate three clinics in Fresno.

What the numbers show
- The filings name 12 California locations, including San Jose, Merced, San Mateo, Bakersfield, Modesto and Salinas.
- They cover 18 separate addresses rather than a single site, so co-workers at different locations may have received different dates.
- The jobs do not all end on the same day. The filings list 4 separate last days of work, running from July 9, 2025 to September 25, 2025.
- The shortest gap between notice and last day here is 0 days, against a statewide median of 61 days across every notice on file.
- By headcount it sits in the top 35% of the 593 employer layoffs tracked here.
- The 113 workers leaving Planned Parenthood Mar Monte, Inc. re-enter a job market where Santa Clara County unemployment stood at 4% in June 2026, below the 5.2% statewide rate (Bureau of Labor Statistics, not seasonally adjusted).
- All 19 notices are dated within a single month, July 2025, which reads as one event reported site by site rather than a rolling reduction.
