Spiral Binding, LLC California Layoffs 2025: What Employees Should Know

Yes, according to California's WARN log. Spiral Binding, LLC has a WARN notice on file with the Employment Development Department, the most recent dated Jul 28, 2025, covering 135 jobs in Camarillo, with a last day of work of Sep 26, 2025. The employer classified it as a closure. A WARN notice is a filing about a planned reduction — it reports how many positions end, where, and when — and this page reflects the EDD file as retrieved on Oct 29, 2026; the filing table below lists every notice.

The filing is classified as a closure on the WARN log: Spiral Binding, LLC reported that its Camarillo site will shut down rather than shed part of the staff, affecting 135 jobs with the last day of work reported as Sep 26, 2025. That is the employer's own classification on the form. It says nothing about the company as a whole — a closure notice covers the location it names.

The WARN notice does not say. The form records what is ending, where, and when; it has no field for a reason, and this page does not supply one. The coverage collected on this page does: The Pacific Coast Business Times reported that Spiral Binding, a New Jersey-headquartered print finishing and graphic arts manufacturer in business for more than 90 years, told the state its facility at 431 Calle San Pablo in Camarillo would permanently close on September 26, 2025, with all 135 employees terminated on or about that date.

The WARN notice Spiral Binding filed with the state does not list severance terms, and we do not publish any employer's package.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.

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.

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 Spiral Binding's 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.

It can. California's WARN Act covers a closure, a mass layoff, and a relocation, and the thresholds are not identical. A closure means the site itself is shutting down rather than shedding part of its staff, which can change who is counted and whether the statute applies at all. It also tends to mean there is no role to be recalled to.

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. This filing shows 60 days, at or above the 60 the statute describes. Notice can still fall short in practice if it did not reach you when the filing says, or if it lacked what the statute requires it to contain.

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 26, 2025 — and filing early is generally better than filing late.

No. Wages you earn at a new job during the notice period do not reduce what Spiral Binding may owe under WARN. That holds even if you start before Sep 26, 2025, the last day of work in this filing. You do not need to delay a job search to protect a claim.

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 this filing, Sep 26, 2025, three years runs to about Sep 26, 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.
