Pink slip refers to the practice, by a personnel department, of including a
discharge notice (printed on pink paper) in an employee's pay envelope to notify the worker of his or her termination or
lay-off. The term dates from 1915; originally the color of the paper had no particular
significance. In the UK the equivalent of a pink slip is a P45.
