Retirement age to go
The Government has announced that the default retirement age of 65 will be scrapped from October 2011. As a result, employers will be compelled to make strategic decisions about their workforce and to address the change in the law in a number of areas. Consultation on effecting the change is due to finish in October 2010 and may give rise to transitional arrangements. The current law will apply to retirements which occur before 1 October 2011 and for which notice is given before 6 April 2011.
