The loss of a client has resulted in 85 Xerox workers getting notified last week that they will lose their jobs by Aug. 26, spokeswoman Coco Salazar confirmed last week.

Affected employees work in Aurora at its Xerox State Healthcare facility, located at 6235 S. Main Street. About 76 of the jobs are pharmacy technicians. The site employs 180 people, Salazar said, adding that the impacted business unit provides customer care support for a client.

As part of a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act letter filed Monday with the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment, Xerox blamed the job cuts on the loss of a single client. The company’s healthcare services division helps companies become more efficient in order to make healthcare more affordable and accessible.

Xerox announced this year that it would split into two public companies, with Xerox Corp. focusing on documents and the newly named Conduent Inc. handling services and business processes.

The Aurora cuts are unrelated to the company split, Salazar said.

“Affected employees have the opportunity to apply to other positions within the company. We realize this affects individuals, and every effort is being made to ensure that all employees are treated fairly,” Salazar said.

The Norwalk, Conn., company has 2,500 employees in Colorado, which includes facilities in Colorado Springs, Greeley and Highlands Ranch.
