4.4 Job Security and Retrenchment

4.4.1 Security of Job from TerminationThe termination's discipline: the cause's requirement (the no-fault dismissal's restriction — the misconduct-or-retrenchment routes only); the notice-and-hearing (the explanation-call's procedure — the natural-justice application); the compensation (the illegal-termination's remedy — the reinstatement-or-compensation); the prescribed-benefits' payment (the clearance's duty).4.4.2 Lay OffThe temporary suspension: the work's short-term stoppage (the no-work situations — the material's shortage, the breakdown, the market's slump); the lay-off's compensation (the partial- wage duty — the waiting period's faces); the lay-off's limits (the duration's ceiling — the retrenchment's conversion).4.4.3 Retrenchment and ReinstatementThe workforce's reduction: the retrenchment's substantive conditions (the genuine-redundancy; the last-in-first-out's principle lore; the notice; the compensation's scales); the state's notification (the labour office's involvement); the reemployment's preference (the retrenched's priority in the rehiring); the reinstatement (the illegal-termination's remedy — the court's restoration power; the back-wages' faces).
