The HR Division have revised the College’s Retirement Procedure to reflect the Government’s removal of the Default Retirement Age (DRA) with effect from 1 October 2011, following a six month transitional period, and have produced a Retirement Pension Procedure and Guidelines.
The removal of the DRA means that the College will no longer set a date when members of staff retire. Members of staff will be able to choose when they enter retirement on a full or part time basis. Where a member of staff is considering retirement they should discuss their intentions with their line manager in good time.
