LINCOLN — Nebraska’s Department of Revenue laid off 11 employees Monday and moved to shutter a satellite office, a state official and the head of the state’s largest public employees union confirmed.

Six Department of Revenue employees were laid off in Lincoln, while at least five workers were laid off in Scottsbluff, the western Nebraska city where the department will close its satellite office, according to the Nebraska Association of Public Employees.

The cuts amount to about 2.7% of the Department of Revenue’s workforce, which included 409 employees as of July. The move marks the largest and latest round of state layoffs in recent weeks, said Justin Hubly, the union’s executive director, who said the state had also laid off two Military Department employees and at least four workers at the Office of the Chief Information Officer in the past two months.
