Provides for mandatory severance for employees terminated in certain layoffs

Summary

The bill would make Missouri employers provide severance to employees who lose their jobs in a mass layoff, transfer, or shutdown that affects 50 or more workers in a 30‑day period. Employers would have to pay one week of wages for each full year of service, and an extra four weeks of pay if they fail to give the required notice. The rule would apply to establishments with at least 100 employees for the notice requirement and would be overseen by the state Department of Labor.
