Description
The Employment Equality (Age) Regulations 2006 come into force on 1 October 2006. For the first time, the new Regulations introduce a default retirement age of 65 and discourage retirement before that age. Employers will only be able to compulsorily retire employees before the age of 65 where it can be objectively justified, but they must also consider requests from employees to continue working beyond 65. Age discrimination in recruitment, promotion and training will be outlawed and the upper age limit for unfair dismissal claims will be removed. This practical guide to the new law will explain the regulations in detail and will provide answers to key questions and discuss major issues including: what age discrimination means; how it affects employers and employees; fair dismissal for retirement; age discrimination and education; how the new law affects pensions; and rights and remedies under the Regulations. "Age Discrimination: the New Law" is essential reading for all employment lawyers and advisers and human resource professionals.
