The Employment (Contractual Retirement Ages) Act 2025 introduces a new statutory process allowing eligible Employees to request to work beyond their contractual retirement age.

Organisations and HR Professionals should ensure they have appropriate procedures in place to manage these requests fairly, consistently and in compliance with the legislation.

Preparing for these changes involves more than understanding the legal requirements. Organisations should review their retirement policies, establish clear processes for handling requests, and ensure managers understand their responsibilities under the new framework.

To help Organisations prepare, Linea has developed a complimentary Longer Working Checklist.

• How to handle notifications of non-consent to retirement before reaching the State pension age under the Employment (Contractual Retirement Ages) Act 2025
