UnitedHealth Group's Optum filed plans to lay off 160 employees at one of its locations in Basking Ridge, New Jersey. The majority of the cuts will occur on Dec. 11, with a single worker laid off Jan. 22, according to a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act notice filed with the state of New Jersey this month. ... The provider, pharmacy and technology services business said in the filing the planned layoffs are due to a need for "alignment of capabilities and services to meet the evolving needs of our business and those we serve." The employees will be eligible for severance pay and continue to receive their regular wages until their termination date.
