If you were laid off by Salesforce, here is what matters most for your unemployment benefits and next steps.
About this layoff event
Salesforce cut approximately 10% of its workforce in early 2023, primarily in corporate and sales roles. Most affected workers were in California and New York. The company offered structured severance. California's EDD handles the majority of these claims with its standard processing delays.

First steps after a layoff from this company
File your unemployment claim immediately — the week you file is typically the first week eligible for benefits. Review any severance agreement carefully before signing. Save all separation documents, pay stubs, and confirmation numbers from your filing. Set up your certification schedule from the start.
