Question

Layoff means ...........

• A. Terminating an employee at the will of the employer
• B. Due to sickness, the employer removes the employee
• C. Terminating because the employee is on strike
• D. Going on voluntary retirement by the employee

Hint:

Layoffs are typically temporary and differ from terminations where the employee's services are permanently ended.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

A layoff refers to the termination of an employee's employment at the discretion of the employer. It often occurs due to business reasons like downsizing, lack of work, or economic conditions, and it is not due to the employee's fault. The employer may choose to rehire the employee when circumstances improve.
