The Employers Forum on Age (EFA) has welcomed the civil
service's decision to remove the practice of being able to insist
their employees retire at 65 and hope that it helps focus the
Government's mind ahead of the result of the Heyday challenge.
The EFA has been working with a growing number of employers who
have chosen not to use the default age of 65 and instead allow
employees to retire when it suits both parties.
