I noticed that some questions are using a tag layoff for circumstances where they are referring to some one being fired or being made redundant and not a layoff in the technical sense.
Formally a layoff has a specific meaning in hr terms (and in some places legal differences) i.e., you might lay off a night shift but those laid off have a right of return should work pickup
Might it be better to do away with laid off and just have fired and redundancy?
