In addition to these changes, CHC will implement a 5 percent pay reduction for all salaried employees, a monthly mandatory day off for hourly employees and a reduction in travel and other projects. The layoffs, which are approximately 2.3 percent of CHC’s total workforce, and the reduction in hours, are expected to save the company $6.2 million annually.
"Through all of this CHC is maintaining its dedication to providing patients with top-quality health care services," said Jim Diegel, president and CEO of CHC, in the news release. "Our focus at this time is on fulfilling our mission and strengthening our organization for the future."
