DAYTON — Cleveland-based KeyCorp, parent to KeyBank, on Tuesday filed notice with the state that beginning Jan. 1, 2008, and ending Dec. 31, 2008, it will lay off 185 employees at its call center and help desk at KeyBank's downtown headquarters at 34 N. Main St.
KeyBank's district headquarters at that location are not affected by the layoffs, said KeyBank spokeswoman Deanna Lepsky, noting that "our headquarters will remain in Dayton."
She said 160 employees will remain there.
KeyBank in mid-September announced the pending layoff of 50 to 200 employees.
Businesses anticipating the layoff of 50 or more employees at the same facility during any 30-day period are required by federal law to file with government labor officials under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act.
In Tuesday's filing, dated Nov. 1, KeyCorp Executive Vice President Thomas Helfrich said the 2008 layoffs and closure of the call center and help desk are necessary to improve KeyCorp's "productivity and operating efficiency."
Helfrich said total layoffs are "expected to be less due to normal attrition and our internal reassignment program."
He added that employees are receiving assistance with internal reassignment and outplacement programs.
Employees whose positions are being eliminated are receiving separation pay, plus benefits for those who qualify, Helfrich said.
