Retirement of employees

As from 6 of April 2011 – no forced retirement notices can be issued to your employees This is due to new laws that are to take effect in October 2011 which mean employers are no longer able to dismiss staff simply on the grounds that they have reached 65. Whilst at the moment the power lies with the employer who is able to lawfully dismiss an employee on this basis, as of October an employer must be able to prove they are ‘objectively justified’ to dismiss a worker on these grounds.
