According to the notice, the layoffs will be effective between Dec. 8 through Dec. 21, 2024. Last week, CVS Health confirmed it planned to cut 2,900 jobs, mostly in corporate roles. The 632 noticed Rhode Island layoffs represent 22% of the total planned job cuts.

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.
