In the first salvo of what is likely to be a much more extensive round of layoffs, the Department of Corrections announced that 147 employees at DOC are to be laid off. Per Commissioner Semple: “Today, it is my duty to inform you that our agency’s savings plan has been approved. I regret to inform you that 147 Department of Correction employees are to be laid off.”
Although layoff notices have yet to be issued, impacted DOC employees can expect to receive official notices by mid-April.
