I hear that the company is going to employ another fifty workers.

Is it correct to say “I hear that the company will hire fifty workers yet”?

Thanks in advance. Greetings.

No, you can’t use the word ‘yet’ that way.

YET is used in negative sentences.
You may say, “The company hasn’t hired 50 workers yet.”

There is another construction where the negative is not as obvious.

The company has yet to hire 50 workers.

I do not recommend using this construction, but you may read or hear it. The construction Anglophile posted is far more common.
