What is the Law Regarding Ageism?
There are laws in place to protect employees against age discrimination. The law states that it is illegal to discriminate against employees under the age of 65 on the grounds of ageism. This means that employees cannot be sacked if they are either too young or too old if they are under 65 years of age. Employees do have the right to work past the age of 65 and this right can be asserted by requesting the intention to work to the employer.
