Why has BP introduced the concept of employer consent for early retirement?
Subject to employer consent, the new standard voluntary early retirement terms of 3% a year for each year your retirement is below age 60 apply to employees retiring from service, and are more generous than the terms that apply to deferred pensioners taking their deferred pensions early. Employer consent is therefore required to ensure a smooth and effective handover of key aspects of your work.
