An employee's employment contract is terminated and they must leave the business.

• A. Dismissal
• B. Resignation
• C. Retirement
• D. Part-time Employment

Answer: (A)

When an employee’s contract is ended by the employer and they must leave, this is dismissal. It happens because the employer decides to terminate the job—for example due to redundancy, performance issues, misconduct, or organizational changes. This differs from resignation, where the worker chooses to quit; retirement, where someone leaves to stop working (often due to age); and part-time employment, which is about the number of hours or contract type, not the reason for leaving. So, the scenario describes dismissal because the employer initiates the termination and the employee must leave.
