About The Separation Index

The Separation Index is a workforce accountability platform that publishes confirmed, user-submitted reports on how companies handle layoffs, terminations, and workforce separations. The platform tracks separation practices including notice method, severance packages, outplacement support, and communication quality. It also indexes WARN Act layoff filings from California, Texas, and New Jersey, and cross-references them against active job postings to surface companies hiring while simultaneously executing layoffs. The Separation Index is a sister platform to The Respect Index at therespectindex.com.

The data story

The Separation Index tracks separation behavior across industries and geographies with confirmed report data on notice quality, severance practices, outplacement support, and communication during layoffs. WARN Act filing data covers 2,835 layoff notices from California, Texas, and New Jersey — published with full DOL source attribution and cross-referenced against active hiring activity. The Severance Benchmark aggregates anonymous severance data by industry, company size, and tenure. All data is available to journalists and researchers for editorial purposes with attribution.
