Made redundant. 'He was laid off by the company.'
Lain because "i have laid in a hammock" is like saying "She has laid out in the sun"
The expression is used in British English. Employees who are let go from a business when times are bad are either "laid off" or - if they have sufficient time completed - "made redundant".
That is the correct spelling of "laid down" (verb to lay, transitive verb).The past tense of lie (lie down) would be lay down(verb to lie, intransitive verb).
spin-off
The correct term is "laid off."
There is a difference between laid off or layed off. In relation to being dismissed from work, the correct phrase to use is laid off. Layed off actually has no grammatical meaning.
"Laid" is the past tense and past participle of the verb "to lay," which means to put something down. "Laid" is used when referring to an action that has already happened, while "lay" is used in the present tense. For example, "She laid the book on the table yesterday" or "She is laying the book on the table now."
The correct spelling is "laid off". This term is used when an employee is dismissed or let go from their job by their employer.
