What is meant by Redundancy?

Redundancy happens when a person is told to leave the job because his skills are of no more use to the organisation. This may happen due to many reason, for example,

• A merger between two firms results in surplus job.
• A business is losing sales and wants to cut the production level or cost and may lay off employees
• The product is taken out of production altogether
• Maybe new machinery is introduced and it requires different skills and qualifications to operate it.

It is also known as retrenchment.
