Redundancy means: When an organisation decides it has a job which it does not require to be done any more by either the present incumbent or someone else. Redeployment means: Cessation of one contract of employment and its replacement with a new contract for a different position. 6. Briefly describe step-by-step process that must be followed to make an employee redundant (in 80 to 100 words) Answer:
