Redundancy

 

Redundancy occurs when an organisation no longer requires a particular job to be performed by anybody.  When referring to redundancy, it is the actual job and not the individual that is made redundant.  Should termination be a result of the job becoming redundant, then the individual or individuals are considered to have been retrenched.

Redundancy can happen for a number of reasons, some of which are:

  • mergers or acquisitions
  • changes in the economy including recession
  • changes in technology resulting in a particular job function(s) no longer being required
  • relocation of business
  • outsourcing of a particular job function
