Time to retire...or carry on nursing?
Plans to scrap the default retirement age (DRA) have met with strong criticism from business groups and fears that the Government have rushed the proposals through without proper consultation. For nurses it means that, from next October, employers will be unable to automatically lay off staff when they reach the age of 65 years. Although the DRA will be scrapped in October the real effects will not be felt until April onwards, as employers must give 6 months' notice to staff that they want to retire.
