| Annotation | Until now, there has been no legislation dealing with age discrimination in Great Britain. This will change on 1 October 2006, when the Employment Equality (Age) Regulations come into force, outlawing age discrimination in employment and vocational training. This summary outlines the main issues covered in the full consultation document, including: recruitment selection and promotion; pay and benefits based on length of service; retirement; unfair dismissal; redundancy; occupational pensions; and benefits and costs. It draws the attention of employers and providers of vocational training to what they should be doing in preparation for when the Regulations come into force. It also draws attention to the consultation, on which views are sought by 17 October 2005. (RH). |
