to no longer be of any use.
Yes they can be made redundant where their position is no longer needed in the company.

More than needed.
Explanation:
In the sentence "This is a single unpaired sock" there is redundancy in the form of twice saying the same (also known as tautology).
A person can be "made redundant", meaning he is no longer needed for a certain job at a certain office or factory (there are too many in that job at that place).
Calling a person redundant (overall) would not be a very nice thing to say: It would mean the person is good for nothing and might as well die.
