The Phased Retirement Arrangement Guidelines have been developed to assist employees who want to plan ahead for their retirement. The guidelines apply to all Council staff.
The guidelines can be used as a prompt for the employee and manager to to identify how an employee's needs can be supported and their valuable knowledge and transferrable skills can be captured before their departure.
It is for the employee to initiate any phased retirement discussions and all phased retirement arrangements are to be entered into voluntarily.
A template which includes sample questions to work through during the discussion is available within the Guidelines.
