The main employment event in 2011 - abolition of the Default Retirement Age
Thursday, 20 January 2011 00:00
The Government has confirmed that it will abolish the Default Retirement Age (DRA).Transitional arrangements to phase out the DRA will start by the 1 April 2011 and the new statutory retirement procedures (including the "duty to consider" and "right to request") will begin. No new notifications of retirement under the DRA can be issued by employers after 6 April 2011. Employers will be able to set an Employer Justified Retirement Age ("EJRA") provided it can objectively justify it.
