Rights after retirement

[TroubleIsBrewing]

Not for me! A questi

Try again - on phone!

Not a question from me, from my mum.

She has been employed as an accounts manager for 10 years. She was 60 3 years ago and wanted to retire. Her boss pleaded with her to stay and let her go part time which was unheard of in the company . She agreed and has been doing Mon-Wed ever since.

Now there is a new manager in place above her and he wants to get rid of her as she is part time. He has been pressuring her that she should now retire fully. Can he make her redundant? (office is quiet at the moment) Would she be entitled to redundancy pay? Or can he just ask her to leave as she is passed retirement age? Any advice would be great, google gives conflicting answers.

He can make her post redundant but that means the job no longer exists and he can't employ someone else to do it. She would be entitled to statutory redundancy pay and any additional redundancy as per her contract and company policy.

hers an interesting article about rulings on forced retirement

hairy thanks for replying, Don't think that is the right link - but would love to see the right one! So just because she is past retirement age she would still get redundancy? Would that change once she is passed 65 do you know? Someone said it would but no one I have spoken to seems to know anything for definite.

the right link (sorry).

direct gov link

I assume when you say "entitled to redundancy" you mean entitled ti redundancy pay? Yes, there is no upper age limit as stated in the link above.

(Redundancy is when a job no longer exists because it's not needed) anymore.

Sorry, yes was meaning the redundancy payment, when saying 'redundancy'. Thanks for that! She will be pleased!
