| Annotation | Under the European Directive on Equal Treatment in Employment and Occupation (Council Directive 2000/78/EC), age discrimination in employment and vocational training will become unlawful on 1 October 2006. This is a final consultation on the draft Employment Equality (Age) Regulations. It seeks views (by 17 October 2005) on whether the draft regulations effectively reflect policy as set out in this consultation document, and whether details of decisions will give rise to significant practical difficulties. It also informs employers, providers of vocational training, and employees or students who have suffered discrimination on what the regulations will require. Sections cover: outlawing age discrimination; justifying age discrimination (including genuine occupational requirements); exemptions; retirement; occupational pensions; changes to other legislation (statutory redundancy payments and unfair dismissal); support and legal action; and benefits and costs. The document is accompanied by a questionnaire, "Coming of age: response form" covering issues raised in the consultation, which is also available as a downloadable item (http://www.dti.gov.uk/er/equality/responseform.pdf.. (RH). |
