Employees may retire for a number of reasons. They may have reached retirement age - normally the age agreed in their contract of employment - or they may be taking early retirement. Some may finish work because of long-term ill health.
Whatever the reason, as an employer there are certain steps you should follow when an employee retires.
The age discrimination legislation introduced a default retirement age of 65 - you can set a retirement age above this but retirements or retirement ages below 65 must be objectively justified. Under the legislation, employees have the right to request to work beyond that age and employers have a duty to consider such requests. The legislation also applies to occupational pension schemes.
