Beth Israel previously said it would lay off 600 workers because of a projected $20 million operating loss, according to the report.
Additionally, about 100 employees are taking early retirement to offset the total number of layoffs. Voluntary wage freezes, salary cuts in higher-paying administrative jobs and benefit reductions have also helped to reduce the number of layoffs.
