Managing age: a guide to good employment practice

Published jointly with the TUC, with funding from the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), this guide aims to help employers and trade unions understand how to develop good practice to meet the requirements of the age discrimination law which was introduced in October 2006. It looks at how the new regulations apply in the areas of: retirement , recruitment, selection and promotion pay, benefits and pensions, appraisal, performance management, training, health and safety, redundancy and termination, harassment and victimisation. It also includes guidance on producing an age equality policy, a summary of the law, the Acas fair retirement flowchart and sources of further information. The guide complements guidance on the new regulations provided by DTI and Acas.
