UnitedHealthcare offers purchases of some of its employees if they renounce their work in early March, according to a report.
The health giant offers the option to some workers in benefit operations if they leave before March 3, CNBC reported.
If they choose not to participate in the purchase, employees can remain in their current or comparable position, but it is not clear for how long. If a certain number of workers does not give up through purchases, the company will have to fire people, the departure reported.
Purchase offers are produced two months after UnitedHaalthcare lost to his CEO Brian Thompson in December when he received a fatal shot outside a Manhattan hotel. Luigi Mangione has been accused in the murder and declared himself innocent.
UnitedHealthcare is part of UnitedHealth Group, the country's largest private health insurance with a market share of almost 16 percent and employs more than 440,000 people from 2023.
It is not clear immediately how many people will be offered the purchase option.
A spokesman for Unitedhealthcare said Independent In a statement: “This voluntary option is part of our continuous efforts to ensure that our team is better positioned to meet the evolutionary needs of the people and customers to whom we are honored to serve. We continue to increase our workforce and hire talent based on the needs of our business. “
“This voluntary option is part of our continuous efforts to ensure that our team is better positioned to meet the evolutionary needs of the people and customers to whom we are honest to serve,” said a spokesman from UnitedHealth to CNBC in a statement . “We continue to grow our workforce with more than 3,200 positions currently available on the careers of UnitedHealth Group.”
An internal memorandum, seen by CNBC, described that both full or part -time workers in benefits were eligible for purchases.
If other employees need to be cut, they will be fired “as soon as”, on May 1, according to the memorandum. Although some workers who accept purchase offers may need to work beyond that date, it is likely not to be required beyond November 13, CNBC reported.
The memorandum urged employees to accept purchase offers, warning that benefits may not be “so favorable” in a possible future dismissal as those who offered purchases.
The employees of UnitedHealthcare who received the purchase offers are “in shock,” CNBC said. UnitedHealth Group promoted $ 400 billion in revenue in 2024 and grew 8 percent year after year, according to its most recent earnings report.
