Does the "last in, first out" policy apply when terminating employees in the same role or the same department? If I need to terminate 3 employees due to reduced work, do I have to look at who came in last to that particular department & role, or the newest joinees to my firm? Basically, my question is - which of these are the law? Last in to the role of Web Designer, last in to the department - Web Design, or the last employee to be hired in the company.

It is actually the Last employee hired in the Organisation / newest entry to your firm over all.

Thank you. If however a manager wanted to reduce his department strength, can he then follow a last in, first out solely for this team?
