CorroHealth allegedly transferred three months' salary to nearly 800 terminated employees, violating an agreement to maintain the status quo until a government-mediated meeting on July 6.
Employees allege CorroHealth is attempting to finalise terminations before government talks by unilaterally disbursing settlement amounts and revoking system access while asking staff to return on Monday.
The state government has rejected CorroHealth's justification for layoffs under the new Central Labour Code, stating that it has not yet been implemented in Kerala and asserting that the company cannot bypass existing protections or mediation agreements.

Kochi: A sudden mass layoff at US-based medical coding firm CorroHealth sparked intense protests on Friday after the company abruptly shut down its offices in Kochi and Kozhikode. The unannounced closure left nearly 900 employees stranded without prior notice.
According to affected workers, those arriving for their morning shift were unexpectedly barred from duties. Representatives instructed them to hand in their identity cards, collect their relieving letters and vacate the premises. While management offered a three-month compensation package, employees condemned the move as inhumane and demanded a minimum of 10 months' severance pay to cope with the sudden job loss.
While the firm cited financial constraints as the primary driver behind closing its Kerala operations, employees alleged that CorroHealth is actively hirin…

CorroHealth has abruptly terminated approximately 800 employees across its operations in Kerala without prior notice, prompting protests and intervention by the labour department.
Employees allege the mass layoffs are not due to financial losses but rather the company's dissatisfaction with Kerala's labour regulations, particularly concerning overtime pay and working hours.
The labour department has temporarily halted the layoffs and scheduled a meeting with company management to discuss the situation, with employees demanding reinstatement or 10 months' salary compensation.

US-based healthcare company CorroHealth Infotech Pvt. Ltd. last week shut down its operations in Kochi and Kozhikode, leaving around 800 employees without jobs and allegedly without prior notice.
The move triggered protests by
laid-off e
mployees and trade unions, prompting the District Labour Officer to initiate conciliation, Live Law reported.
The direction came while Justice P Gopinath was hearing a writ petition filed by the company. The company had challenged the District Labour Officer's communication asking it to maintain status quo on its decision to shut down operations in Kerala and lay off employees.
Appearing for the company, senior counsel S. Sreekumar submitted that Corrohealth was forced to cease operations due to circumstances beyond its control.

KOCHI: The management of CorroHealth, a US-based medical coding firm, has put on hold its decision to implement mass layoffs following a swift intervention by the Kerala state government. The company's operations will continue under a status quo agreement until high-level discussions are held with senior management officials.
The development followed intense protests by employees after CorroHealth abruptly terminated nearly 900 staff members without prior notice and shut down its offices in Kochi and Kozhikode. Employees discovered they had lost their jobs only when they reported for work in the morning.
While the company cited financial constraints as the reason for closing its offices, the employees disputed this claim. Protesting workers alleged that the company’s justification was groundless, pointing out that CorroHealth is actively recruiting new candidates for its other locations, including Hyderabad. Labelling the management's sudden move as inhumane, the disgruntled workers staged a protest in the morning, demanding a minimum of 10 months' compensation if the company went ahead with the closure.
