Redundancy
Termination of employment because job no longer needed (not employee fault).
Real World
When Woolworths closed all 807 UK stores in 2009, over 27,000 employees were made redundant because their roles simply ceased to exist — a textbook case of business closure-driven redundancy.
Exam Focus
Always clarify redundancy is role-based, not performance-based; confusing it with dismissal is a common exam error.
