A sub-contractor has been told by his company that he has to retire shortly as he is turning 65. He wishes to continue work - because he needs the income. Is there any legislation that can support his request or is he bound by company policy? Thanks Cathy ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Please remove this footer before replying.
