Intel offered the workers at its manufacturing division unpaid leave as part of a “voluntary time off” program, the Business Post reports.
“Voluntary time off programs allow us an opportunity to reduce short-term costs and offer employees attractive time off options,” Intel told Reuters, adding that manufacturing talent represents a critical element of its business in Ireland.
The move comes as the chipmaker cut its full-year profit and revenue forecast in October and warned it would lay off staff. Intel also said it would reduce costs amid the macroeconomic uncertainties.
