Novartis is continuing to trim its workforce in the U.S., letting go of 76 employees in East Hanover, New Jersey, according to a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act alert for the state. The layoffs will take effect on Aug. 21.
This will be the third time this year that Novartis downsized its New Jersey operations. The first batch of layoffs was announced in March, affecting 114 employees set to take effect from June 26 through Nov. 27. The second hit came a month later, with 60 jobs projected to be cut from July 24 through Nov. 20.
Novartis earlier this month also announced that it would close down a production site in Germany by the end of 2028, eliminating 220 jobs in the process.
