Is there a mandatory retirement age in Canada?

Background – No law in Ontario requires persons to retire at any age. In theory, employees can work until they no longer wish to do so or are incapable of performing their jobs. However, many workplaces have retirement policies that require all employees to retire at age 65.

These may arise out of collective agreements negotiated between the employer and union or as a result of an employer’s personnel policies. For the reasons discussed below, employees who do not wish to retire at 65 have no means to challenge the collective agreement or personnel policy. This means that in effect, an employer can impose mandatory retirement at 65.

The Ontario Human Rights Code defines “age” as: s.10(1) “age” means an age that is eighteen years or more, except in subsection 5(1) where “age” means an age that is eighteen years or more and less than sixty-five years. The restricted definition of age means that the Commission cannot receive a complaint of age discrimination in employment from someone who is 65 or older.

This means it is not contrary to the Code for employers to require employees to retire at age 65 (or older) and employees cannot challenge this practice,
Similarly, workers who continue to be employed cannot complain if their employer treats them differently ( e.g.
In remuneration, benefits, hours, vacation etc.) on the basis of their age.

Restricted definitions of age, or other exceptions in human rights legislation that permit mandatory retirement at age 65, have been the subject of several challenges under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, In all of the cases, the Supreme Court of Canada has upheld mandatory retirement.

In one case, the Supreme Court considered the definition of “age” in the Ontario Code and found that, mandatory retirement policies do discriminate on the basis of age but are a reasonable limit on the equality rights of older persons ( McKinney v.
University of Guelph (1990) ).
Since court challenges have been unsuccessful, in order for mandatory retirement to be made illegal, it is necessary to amend the Code,

Only the Legislative Assembly of Ontario can amend the Code, In a 1977 Report, Life Together: A Report on Human Rights in Ontario, the Commission recommended that the definition of age be amended to remove the upper limit so that the ability to perform the job would be the only criterion for determining when a person should leave employment.

Does mandatory retirement still exist?

United States – Mandatory retirement is generally unlawful in the United States, except in certain industries and occupations that are regulated by law, and are often part of the government (such as military service and federal police agencies, such as the Federal Bureau of Investigation ).

From the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission website: The Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (ADEA) protects individuals who are 40 years of age or older from employment discrimination based on age. The ADEA’s protections apply to both employees and job applicants. Under the ADEA, it is unlawful to discriminate against a person because of his/her age with respect to any term, condition, or privilege of employment, including hiring, firing, promotion, layoff, compensation, benefits, job assignments, and training.

From the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations discussing the Age Discrimination in Employment Act : one of the original purposes of this provision, namely, that the exception does not authorize an employer to require or permit involuntary retirement of an employee within the protected age group on account of age, an employer can no longer force retirement or otherwise discriminate on the basis of age against an individual because (s)he is 70 or older.

Can they force you to retire?

What are the rules on federal workforce retirement? – Legally, the government can’t force workers to retire strictly due to their age. “If you’re going to separate somebody, you only have a narrow range of choices under the law,” Jones said in an interview.

For example, misconduct, unacceptable performance.
And it’s also possible to do that if somebody is medically unable to perform.
They can’t do the job.” But while the law is on an older employee’s side, that doesn’t mean they won’t have a superior who begins subtly encouraging them to retire.
At times, Jones says, bosses may try to hasten an employee’s departure by siphoning off their responsibilities.

He’s spoken with federal workers who have found themselves in a job with little or nothing to do, though they were still getting paid. Some people are willing to ride out a few years that way to forestall retiring, he says. They may even be pleased. “But others get bored and say, ‘I don’t want to do this anymore,” Jones said.

I’m gonna find a way to get out.'” In other cases, an agency is reorganized and an employee finds that their job is being eliminated.
Usually it involves a larger organizational shift, and then everybody involved gets a notice,” Jones says.
If you’re in one of those positions that won’t exist, there are Reduction in Force regulations that govern what happens to you after that.” One possibility, he says: “You could be moved to another position where you would ‘bump’ another employ with less tenure, less standing, and take over that job.

Or you could end up at a lower level.” In cases of reorganization, older employees with more tenure may have an advantage: “It’s only the ones who are left over who don’t have a place to go and don’t have the tenure to hold on that are going to be separated,” Jones said.

When was mandatory retirement abolished?

The abolition of mandatory retirement, and how it changed America in unexpected ways. – In the 1970s, W. Glenn Campbell had a brilliant idea for reviving the backwater California think tank he ran: He would hire pre-eminent scholars who were being let go from their universities because they had reached the age of mandatory retirement.

So in the 1970s, Campbell lured philosopher Sidney Hook, physicist Edward Teller, and Nobel Laureate economist Milton Friedman to the Hoover Institution at Stanford University,
That was the key, the breakthrough,” says Melvyn Krauss, a Hoover senior fellow emeritus.
Prior to their arrival, Krauss says, Hoover couldn’t attract well-known scholars in their prime.

But with these big names at Hoover, other luminaries, and lots of donor money, followed. Mandatory retirement was an idea that took hold of the workplace in the early 20 th century. By the 1970s, about half of American workers had a non-negotiable deadline for leaving, usually at age 65.

For some, the departure may have been welcome; for others, it felt like being prematurely put out to pasture.
Friedman was active at Hoover for nearly 30 years, until his death at age 94.) Then, as civil rights law expanded beyond race to encompass age, disability, and gender 25 years ago, mandatory retirement was struck down by Congress.

In 1986, as part of a series of congressional actions to address age discrimination, it became illegal in almost all cases to force people out of jobs at any age. Joseph Quinn, a professor of economics at Boston College, wrote in a research paper that this move “sent an important message to society that the appropriate age to retire was not necessarily 65.” The elimination of mandatory retirement became a turning point in the way Americans retire.

It helped reverse a 100-year trend of people departing from the workforce in ever greater numbers and at an ever-earlier age.
Because of increasing longevity, establishment of generous pension plans, and mandatory removal from the workplace, retirement had become something unprecedented: a third stage of life, potentially as long as childhood and one’s working years.

Then, in the 1980s, the foundation of this third stage began to crumble. Until the end of the 19 th century, retirement planning was pretty simple for most Americans: You worked until you died. Sometimes, people became too old or incapacitated to continue on the farm or in the factory, and the lucky ones were cared for by family.

In the 1880s, about 75 percent of men 65 and older were still in the labor force, writes Dora L.
Costa, professor of economics at UCLA, in The Evolution of Retirement,
But from that point on, until the 1980s, older men’s participation in the workforce began steadily falling.
By 1900, it had dropped to 65 percent.

(Historical figures only reflect men’s employment because of women’s far lower participation in the labor force.) There were several causes for this decline. One was the appearance of pensions for Union Civil War veterans. In Working Longer, Alicia H.

Munnell and Steven A. Sass of the Center for Retirement Research at Boston College write that many veterans left the workforce when they received a guaranteed stream of pension income. Pensions also became a more regular fixture as Americans shifted from self-employment, largely in agriculture, to working for companies.

In 1900, the Pennsylvania Railroad came up with an innovation: mandatory retirement. The company offered pensions to all its workers, but to collect they would have to retire at age 70. In a World Bank paper, economist Samuel H. Williamson writes that imposing a universal age of departure relieved companies of the unpleasantness of having to evaluate the fitness of their older workers individually and solved the growing problem of a glut of elderly, incapacitated employees.

The arrival of Social Security—the first retirement checks for workers who had reached age 65 were delivered in 1940—helped make leaving the workplace an even more reasonable proposition. In 1948, a Bureau of Labor Statistics study finds, just under 50 percent of men 65 and older were still in the workforce.

By 1968, it was just under 30 percent, and by 1988 just under 20 percent. A chart from Quinn’s paper shows that had this linear trend continued, only about 10 percent of men ages 65 to 69 would still have been working by the end of the 20 th century. But in the 1980s, that all stopped.

“A century-old trend has come to a halt, and reversed,” writes Quinn, “The era of earlier and earlier retirement is over and is not coming back.” Last year, the employment rate of men 65 and older had ticked back up to 22 percent. The employment of older women, although their absolute numbers are far smaller, has also shown a dramatic rise.

From 1977 to 2007 the number of women age 65 and older in the workforce increased almost 150 percent. That’s not all. In the same period, the percentage of people of both sexes age 75 and up who are still working has increased more than 170 percent. “There’s a whole new world out there,” says economist Quinn.

The incentives are different, and people are behaving differently.” For one thing, people are no longer given a gold watch and pushed out the door.
For another, reforms in Social Security have created a financial incentive to work longer.
For a third, the world of “defined benefit” pensions is being replaced by “defined contribution” pensions.

When did the mandatory retirement age change?

Increase in Retirement Age Increase in Retirement Age The Social Security Amendments of 1983 (H.R.1900, Public Law 98-21) contained two provisions which may have an impact on when an individual decides to retire. The two provisions are an increase in the retirement age that can first affect individuals retiring in 2000 and an increase in the delayed retirement credit for those who work beyond full retirement age.

For persons born in 1938 or later, their Social Security benefit may be affected by a provision that raises the age at which full Social Security benefits are payable. The age for collecting full Social Security retirement benefits will gradually increase from 65 to 67 over a 22-year period beginning in 2000 for those retiring at 62. The earliest a person can start receiving reduced Social Security retirement benefits will remain age 62.

Increase in Age for Receiving Full Social Security Benefits

Year of Birth	Full Retirement Age
1937 or earlier	65
1938	65 and 2 months
1939	65 and 4 months
1940	65 and 6 months
1941	65 and 8 months
1942	65 and 10 months
1943 – 1954	66
1955	66 and 2 months
1956	66 and 4 months
1957	66 and 6 months
1958	66 and 8 months
1959	66 and 10 months
1960 and later	67

ul> Background

The 1983 Amendments phased in a gradual increase in the age for collecting full Social Security retirement benefits. The retirement age will increase from 65 to 67 over a 22-year period, with an 11-year hiatus at which the retirement age will remain at 66. The original Social Security Act of 1935 set the minimum age for receiving full retirement benefits at 65. Congress cited improvements in the health of older people and increases in average life expectancy as primary reasons for increasing the normal retirement age. Since the program first began paying monthly Social Security benefits in 1940 the average life expectancy for men reaching age 65 has increased nearly 4 years to age 81; for women reaching age 65, their average life expectancy has increased nearly 6 years to age 84. The average age for men retiring in 1998 was 64. The average age for women retiring in 1998 was 64. In 1998, nearly 69% of men and women retired and started taking Social Security benefits before age 65.

The earliest a person can start receiving Social Security retirement benefits will remain age 62,

Social Security benefits are reduced for each month a person receives benefits before full retirement age.

For persons whose full retirement age is 65, a retirement benefit is reduced by 5 / 9 of 1% for each month of benefits prior to full retirement age.

As the age for collecting full Social Security benefits increases, persons who retire at age 62 will see a greater reduction in their Social Security benefits.

For persons whose full retirement age is age 65 and 2 months or later, a retirement benefit will be reduced by 5 / 9 of 1% for each month up to the first 36 months of benefits before full retirement age, plus 5 / 12 of 1% for each month of benefits in excess of 36 prior to full retirement age. Examples:

Social Security benefits are reduced by 20% for a person who retires at 62 whose full retirement age is 65 (born 1937 or earlier). Social Security benefits will be reduced by 20 5 / 6 % for a person whose full retirement age is 65 and 2 months (retires at 62 in 2000). Social Security benefits will be reduced by 25% for a person who retires at 62 whose full retirement age is 66 (born 1943-1954). Social Security benefits will be reduced by 30% for a person who retires at 62 whose full retirement age is 67 (born in 1960 or later).

Background

The Social Security Amendments of 1956 lowered the minimum age for retirement benefits to 62 for women. The Social Security Amendments of 1961 extended the early retirement provision to men.

The new Social Security Statement :

Tells a person their full retirement age and Provides a retirement benefit estimate for age 62, full retirement age, and age 70. The age 62 benefit estimate incorporates the reduction for early retirement. The age 70 benefit estimate incorporates delayed retirement credits.
