The City of Stratford continues to be impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Officials say the virus has caused the City to make some adjustments to its complement of part-time employees, pause the hiring for vacant positions throughout the corporation, including casual and seasonal workers, and accept some voluntary layoffs and unpaid leaves of absence.
They say they have also made the difficult decision to issue additional temporary layoff notices to 11 employees, effective Saturday.
Some impacted employees will have the opportunity for temporary re-deployment and the employees are expected to be brought back as soon as possible.
Officials say the decisions have been made as municipal facilities remain closed and the financial implications of the pandemic become more serious.
