Layoff
A layoff is the
termination of employment of an
employee or (more commonly) a group of employees for
business reasons, such as the decision that certain positions are no longer necessary. Originally the term "layoff" referred specifically to a temporary interruption in work, as when factory work cyclically falls off. However, the term has long been applied also to the permanent elimination of positions as a cost-cutting measure (or for other reasons).
