Archive for September, 2012

5 October 2012 is the last date for compulsory default retirement age (DRA) retirement, where notice was given on 5 April 2011, the employee requested to work past retirement and a maximum of 6 months’ extension was agreed.

The National Minimum Wage is reviewed annually. We expect any increase in the current National Minimum Wage rates to take effect on 1 October 2012, although we do not yet have any further information on what the new rates will be.
