Eclipse Advantage Files 35-Worker WARN Notice for Perris Closure, Effective January 4, 2027
Eclipse Advantage has filed a WARN notice covering 35 workers at its site in Perris, California. The filing lists the event as a closure, with the job cuts taking effect January 4, 2027. The notice was dated November 4, 2026 — 61 days before the effective date, one day more than the 60 days the federal WARN Act requires.
The notice comes from California's official WARN feed, published through the state Employment Development Department (EDD). It lands on January 4, 2027, a date that is quietly becoming one of the busiest single effective dates on the California calendar.
The filing at a glance
- Employer: Eclipse Advantage
- Location: Perris, California
- Workers affected: 35
- Event type: closure
- Notice date: November 4, 2026
- Effective date: January 4, 2027
- Notice period: 61 days

A closure filing means the employer reported the site itself closing, rather than a partial layoff at a site that stays open. That distinction matters for workers: a closure usually means every role at the location is affected, and there is no same-site job to transfer into. These are reported plans, not confirmed job losses — the filing records what the employer told the state it intends to do, and plans can still change before the effective date.
January 4, 2027 is stacking up
Eclipse Advantage is not the only employer with layoffs effective January 4, 2027. Three other California filings share the date:
- ServiceNow, Santa Clara — 37 workers, layoff, noticed November 4, 2026
- ServiceNow, San Diego — 25 workers, layoff, noticed November 4, 2026
- Wedgewood Village Pharmacy, San Jose — 71 workers, layoff, noticed November 2, 2026
Together, the four filings put 168 workers on the same effective date in California alone — a small number next to the 1,605-worker AEG Management Oakland filing effective December 31, 2026, but a sign of how one calendar date accumulates filings from unrelated employers. January 4 is the first Monday after the New Year holiday, a natural date for cuts noticed in early November.
One caution: a separate California filing, Crinetics Pharmaceuticals in San Diego, lists 78 workers with an effective date of January 4, 2026 — before its November 3, 2026 notice date. That is impossible as written and looks like a source-data error, so it is not counted in the January 4, 2027 total above.
California still leads the national count
California remains far ahead of every other state in the 90-day WARN window. As of the latest registry update on November 7, 2026, California accounts for 21,514 of the 65,134 reported workers nationwide — about one in three. Washington is second at 17,411, followed by Illinois (3,548), Texas (2,750) and Virginia (2,546). The national window covers 706 notices, with 31 filings reporting no worker count.
The longer picture is just as large: the state's archive holds 17,682 notices reporting 1,460,358 workers, with 1,254 notices and 68,531 workers so far in 2026. In the last 365 days, the official feed alone carries 1,340 filings reporting 73,360 workers, and 169 notices carry future effective dates.
Perris sits in Riverside County, in the Inland Empire warehouse and logistics corridor east of Los Angeles. Eclipse Advantage provides warehouse and logistics staffing, and a 35-worker closure there fits the pattern of smaller Inland Empire filings that rarely make headlines but add up across the registry.
The weeks ahead
The national calendar stays heavy through mid-November. The week starting November 14 is the heaviest upcoming week, with 8,510 workers scheduled, followed by November 21 (6,925) and November 28 (6,063). The current week, starting November 7, carries 4,155 workers. December opens quieter: 1,090 workers in the week of December 5 and 3,755 in the week of December 12. Across the six weeks from November 7 to December 12, 30,498 workers are scheduled — and about 84 percent of them fall in November.
How to read this filing
A WARN notice is a legal heads-up, not a final headcount. The federal WARN Act requires employers with 100 or more full-time workers to give 60 days' notice before a plant closing or mass layoff affecting 50 or more workers. Eclipse Advantage's 61-day gap clears that bar by a single day.
For the 35 workers named in the filing, the practical points are the same as in any WARN notice: the effective date is the earliest the job cuts take effect, not necessarily the last day worked for everyone; severance, benefits and any transfer or recall rights depend on the employer's policies and any union contract, not on the notice itself; and state rapid-response services can help with job search and retraining during the notice period.
The filing is one small line in a large registry. But small filings are most of the registry: the typical WARN notice covers fewer than 100 workers, and California's 2026 total of 68,531 workers is built from more than 1,200 filings like this one — 35 workers here, 37 there, across dozens of towns.
