Can I allow my employee to continue working after retirement age, but offer a new re-employment contract a few months later?

Question

Accepted Answer

Yes, if you don’t offer a re-employment contract to your employee when they reach retirement age, you can continue to employ them and offer them a formal re-employment contract at a later date.

Employees who continue to be employed beyond retirement age without a formal re-employment contract are considered re-employed on their existing terms.
