Almost 100 people will be laid off from the Mesa location of an international semiconductor company, according to a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notice filed Aug. 3.
Germany-headquartered Infineon plans to lay off 98 people. Under the Worker Adjustment & Retraining Notification Act, 60 days' notice is required when large employers close a location with 50 or more workers, lay off between 50 to 499 workers, when the layoffs are more than one-third of the workforce at that particular site, or lay off more than 500 workers at a particular site.
The company also has a location in Chandler.
