DOE Program Would Ease Layoff Burden
The Department of Energy plans a six part economic adjustment program to aid displaced workers at Savannah River Site and other installations. It seeks to preserve health benefits, offer early retirement incentives, provide outplacement and relocation support, with about 250 million dollars set aside, including 100 million from the Office of Management and Budget. The plan aims to spread layoffs over the fiscal year and fund retraining, relocation and incentives, as Congress pressures DOE to give notice and plan for workforce changes while facing defense budget cuts.
