Final WARNing: Maryland’s Law Mandating Notice of Mass Layoffs and RIFs Is Now in Effect!
The Maryland Department of Labor (MDOL) has issued final regulations for the Maryland Economic Stabilization Act, effective October 13, 2025. Commonly known as the “Maryland mini-WARN Act,” the law mandates employers to provide notice of mass layoffs or reductions in force (RIFs) under specific circumstances. Although the notice provisions became mandatory in 2020, the MDOL has deferred enforcement pending final regulations. With the release of these regulations, employers may want to prepare for full compliance with the mini-WARN Act requirements.
