Strauss Borrelli PLLC is investigating Microsoft Corporation for a potential WARN Act violation after Microsoft notified the Washington Employment Security Department on July 6, 2026 of a decision to conduct a mass layoff at its Redmond, Washington facility. The firm states that 605 employees are reported to be affected and alleges Microsoft may have failed to provide the 60 days' notice required under the federal WARN Act, potentially entitling employees to 60 days of severance pay and benefits. The notice filing suggests the layoffs are planned rather than already completed, triggering the investigation into whether the required prior written notice was given. The firm is soliciting affected employees to come forward for potential legal remedies related to insufficient WARN notice.
Microsoft Corporation cut 605 jobs as of September 4, 2026.
