Annotation	Flexible retirement is currently defined as an arrangement whereby an employee either reduces hours worked or grade held after becoming eligible to receive benefits under an occupational pension scheme. The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has consulted on draft regulations following implementation of the Employment Equality (Age) Regulations in 2006. The aim is to clarify the application of the Regulations in relation to flexible retirement and pensions. Age Concern England (ACE) and Help the Aged recommend that the definition of flexible retirement should be revisited, otherwise there is an incentive for employers to force employees into a particular pattern of employment.
