Make redundant, or leave alone (3,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lay off

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'make redundant' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'leave alone' is the second definition.

'or' is the link.

(Other definitions for lay off that I've seen before include "Dismiss, usually for economic reasons" , "Terminate employment, or cease to bother" , "Hedge (bet); suspend (worker)" , "Stop - cease to employ" , "Let staff go because of a downturn" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
