West Des Moines, IA – A new workforce reduction notice indicates that dozens of employees at a major financial services facility in West Des Moines could soon lose their jobs as part of a planned corporate layoff.
A WARN notice filed in Iowa states that Wells Fargo plans to lay off 62 employees at its office located at 800 S Jordan Creek Parkway in West Des Moines. The workforce reduction is expected to take effect on May 30, 2026.
According to information from the WARN filing, the layoffs will affect workers at the company’s West Des Moines operations hub, one of the bank’s major employment centers in the state. The Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act requires large employers to provide advance notice when planning significant job cuts or facility closures.
The filing indicates the job reductions are expected to be permanent and will impact dozens of roles within the facility. The notice does not specify which departments or positions will be affected.
West Des Moines has long been a significant employment base for Wells Fargo, which maintains multiple offices and operational centers across the Des Moines metro area. The company employs thousands of workers in Iowa, primarily in banking operations, mortgage services, and financial support functions.
Layoff announcements through WARN notices often give affected employees several weeks or months to prepare before the reductions take effect. State workforce agencies typically use the advance notice period to coordinate job placement assistance, training programs, and other employment resources for impacted workers.
It is not immediately clear whether additional layoffs could follow or whether the job cuts are part of broader restructuring efforts within the company.
Employees affected by the upcoming layoffs may be eligible for unemployment benefits and workforce assistance through Iowa workforce programs once the reductions take place.
