In which of the following types of separation does an employee quit after finding a higher paying job?

Comprehensive and Detailed in Depth

Voluntary separation occurs when an employee chooses to leave the organization, such as resigning

to take a higher-paying job elsewhere. This is distinct from involuntary separation, where the

employer initiates the termination.

Option A (Downsizing): This is an involuntary separation due to organizational restructuring.

Option B (Voluntary): Correct, as the employee is choosing to leave for a better opportunity.

Option C (Redundancy): This is an involuntary separation due to a role being eliminated.

Option D (Involuntary): This is when the employer terminates the employee, not the employee’s

choice.
