| 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 statutory redundancy pay on employers and individuals, on the macro-economy and the Exchequer. The statutory redundancy payments scheme, introduced in 1965, currently has a number of aspects that discriminate directly on grounds of age and these will be removed; further aspects of the scheme that have an indirect disparate impact on different age groups, will also be reviewed and these are detailed in this RIA.
