Which term denotes the termination of a worker's employment due to incompetence (unsatisfactory performance) or a breach of contract?

• A. Gross Misconduct
• B. Cascading
• C. Human Resource Management
• D. Dismissal

Answer: (D)

Dismissal is the term used for ending an employee’s contract by the employer due to underperformance or a breach of contract. It covers situations where the worker does not meet required standards or violates terms, making it a general term for terminating employment on those grounds. Gross misconduct, by contrast, refers to very serious rule-breaking (like theft or violence) that can lead to immediate dismissal but is not the broad descriptor for all terminations based on poor performance. Cascading and Human Resource Management are unrelated to the act of ending employment.
