Employment Equality (Abolition of Mandatory Retirement Age) Bill 2014

Public bill · Private Member · Introduced

Employers would generally be prevented from forcing employees to retire because of age if they remain capable and willing to do their jobs. Voluntary retirement incentives could continue, while security-related roles and retirement ages set directly by law would be exempt; the measure aims to reduce age discrimination and support older people’s financial independence.
