What Are The Rules for Employers on Age Discrimination?
Employers do have the right to refuse a request to work from employees 65 years old and over. Once the employee is over 65 the employer can refuse the request to work and is not required to give a reason. Employers also have to provide at least six month’s notice of when they expect their employees to retire. When it comes to training, employers must treat all employees equally regardless of their age. Age discrimination when recruiting staff is outlawed in the UK.
