Layoff timeline
2 EVENTSThe International Rescue Committee (IRC) announced a planned mass layoff expected to impact nearly 60 employees across its Sacramento and Turlock offices by the end of the year. Documents filed with California’s Employment Development Department specify that 48 layoffs will take effect Sept. 30, with the remaining cuts spread between October and December; the article states 41 employees are slated for layoff by year-end in one reference and 15 in the Turlock office, totaling 56-59, with the article summarizing as nearly 60. Cuts affect positions such as human-trafficking caseworkers, employment specialists, legal immigration representatives and community wellness coordinators, and come after reductions in State Department aid and tighter resettlement eligibility. IRC said funding reductions forced staffing decisions while pledging to protect programs and retain staff where possible; affected staff are represented by OPEIU Local 29 and will have recall priority.
