Mass General Brigham layoffs absent from Massachusetts WARN tracker
Mass General Brigham job cuts that took effect the week of Oct. 19 were not listed on the state’s Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification tracker as of Oct. 26. The public database is operated by the Healey administration.
Layoffs at Mass General Brigham that took effect during the week of Oct. 19 were not reflected on Massachusetts’ Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) tracker as of Monday, Oct. 26, according to the state’s online listing.
Mass General Brigham is the state’s largest employer. The tracker, run by the Healey administration through the state Department of Labor, is intended to disclose qualifying layoffs. The report said the recent cuts had not been posted despite state and federal notification requirements.
The available information did not specify how many workers were affected or when the state expected to update the tracker. The omission leaves workers and the public without a timely entry in the state’s centralized layoff notification system.
