The hospital system will pay its full-time workers hired before July 1 $750 each in bonus checks, marking the first time Beaumont Hospitals has distributed bonuses in at least 20 years, according to a Chicago Tribune report.
Part-time workers will receive a prorated check based on the number of hours they work per week, according to the report.
At the same time, Beaumont is laying off 40-50 administrators and managers, part of a reorganization effort expected to save the hospital system up to $4 million a year, according to a Detroit News report.
Beaumont Hospitals laid off hundreds of workers in 2008 and 2009, following a $29.5 million operating loss in 2008.
