| 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 Regulatory Impact Assessment (RIA) is part of the final consultation on the draft Employment Equality (Age) Regulations, and considers the impact of retirement ages on employers and individuals, on the macro-economy and the Exchequer. The main options under consideration are threefold: a) No national default retirement age (DRA) and employers not able to set their own retirement ages; b) No national DRA but allowing employers to set their own retirement ages which would have to be justified at Employment Tribunals, hence employer-justified retirement ages (EJRAs); c) No national DRA, allowing employers to set an EJRA and also giving employees a new right to request to work beyond their employer's retirement age (KJ). |
