What are the three forms of Involuntary separation?

• A. Redundancy, Retrenchment, Dismissal
• B. Retirement, Resignation, Change
• C. Redundancy, Dismissal, Resignation
• D. Retrenchment, Resignation, Change

Answer: (A)

Involuntary separation means leaving a job not by choice. The three forms usually taught are redundancy, retrenchment, and dismissal. Redundancy happens when a role no longer exists due to restructuring or downsizing, so the employee’s position is eliminated. Retrenchment refers to job losses driven by the business needing to cut costs or downsize further, again eliminating roles. Dismissal is termination tied to performance or conduct issues. These are all employer-initiated, unlike retirement, resignation, or changing jobs, which are voluntary departures. So the combination of redundancy, retrenchment, and dismissal best fits involuntary separation.
