The Industrial Dispute Act uses the term “retrenchment” instead of “termination”. Retrenchment is defined as termination for any reason except as punishment inflicted by way of disciplinary action, retirement/superannuation, termination for continued ill-health, or expiry and non-renewal of the term of an employment contract.
