The terminations will be happening during a 14-day period starting Dec. 8, CVS Health officials wrote in the notice.

Only 153 of the terminated employees work at the Woonsocket headquarters or surrounding facilities while the remaining affected employees work remotely, reporting to leaders in Woonsocket.

Woonsocket based CVS said they plan to layoff a total of 632 in-person and remote workers starting on Dec. 8 in order to “slash costs.” The cuts include 1 percent of their workforce, and a total of $2 million dollars in corporate costs.
