Summary
CorroHealth laid off nearly 850 employees from its Kerala offices earlier in July, impacting about 600 staff in Kochi and 200 in Kozhikode, primarily in medical coding roles. The US-based company had initially given two months' salary at the time of closure; after a settlement meeting on July 20 led by the Labour Minister, CorroHealth agreed to pay an additional five months' gross salary, bringing the total package to seven months. The company will also provide experience certificates, relieving letters, and support for background checks, and pledged to credit the full compensation by July 26. The layoffs sparked protests after employees were denied office entry without notice, and officials said transfers proposed by the company would not ensure long-term job security amid automation and AI pressures in healthcare.
CorroHealth cut 850 jobs affecting its medical coding team as of July 20, 2026.
