Portland – Hillsboro, Ore.-based SureID acknowledged its recent spate of layoffs in two letters to the mayor of Hillsboro last week, reporting that it plans 97 new layoffs in addition to 200 prior job cuts.
In May, the company told investors that it had lost a deal to supply electronic identification technology to the U.S. Navy, which accounted for 70 percent of its revenue.
The cuts began May 8, and while SureID had confirmed its first round of layoffs, it had not previously put a number to the total number of job cuts or publicly acknowledged subsequent layoffs.
The latest cuts are in effect through July 17, according to the letter.
SureID faces a lawsuit from a former employee alleging that the company failed to give workers adequate notice of the May layoffs, as required under the federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act of 1988.
