The government has been urged to clarify its plans for scrapping the default\u00a0retirement age in order to avoid the risk of extra tribunal claims. The call\u00a0has come from the CBI.<\/p>\n

The employers group argued that firms could face greater risks of tribunal\u00a0claims if the government does not issue more precise legal clarity on the\u00a0consequences of dropping the default retirement age of 65 as from April\u00a02011.<\/p>\n

Under the new rules, employers will no longer be able to terminate the\u00a0employment of staff members simply because they have reached 65. But the CBI\u00a0wants to see the new legislation put back a year in order to sidestep the “huge uncertainty” and the “unintended consequences” such a move would\u00a0involve.<\/p>\n

As from April next year, employers will not have the right to force someone\u00a0to retire once they hit 65. The CBI described the measure as one of the “biggest changes to employment law in 2011” yet maintained that the rules\u00a0governing retirement will be less clear for both employers and employees.<\/p>\n

To make good the regulatory gap, the CBI has said that the government should\u00a0delay the change for a year. Other recommendations include a simplification\u00a0of the law on performance management and unfair dismissal; a spelling out of\u00a0how employers can use Objective justification to defend a retirement age;\u00a0and the establishment of the state pension age as a milestone after which\u00a0employers would no longer have to offer occupational benefits.<\/p>\n

John Cridland, the CBI’s director-general designate, commented: “The ageing\u00a0population and the shortfall in pension savings make it inevitable that\u00a0people will want to continue working for longer. However, in certain jobs,\u00a0especially physically-demanding ones, working beyond 65 is not going to be\u00a0possible for everyone. With the scrapping of the DRA in April, a legislative\u00a0void is opening up. We need to modernise our employment law framework to\u00a0ensure that it is fit for purpose.”<\/p>\n
