When is an employee no longer eligible to lay-off Operation Red Block?

An employee is no longer eligible to lay-off Operation Red Block once they are approached by a manager. This is because the act of being approached signifies that the employer is assessing the employee's performance or behavior, which impacts the decision-making regarding that employee’s operational status. Until a manager has officially communicated with the employee, the process of lay-off is not formalized, leaving the door open for possible changes.

The timing of the interaction is crucial; until a manager intervenes, the employee remains in a state where they could potentially be laid off. This highlights the importance of communication in operational procedures involving employee status. Other scenarios, such as completing work or reporting for duty, do not directly affect eligibility in terms of operational protocols concerning lay-offs.
