Ok before we all start getting our liberty bodices in a fangle (if you know what a liberty bodice is you are defiantly in the discrimination range) the lady I saw yesterday was 69 working as a cleaner - 40 hours a week and in her world doing as much as she ever did! Manager was stating that actually she wasn’t and lots of adjustment (just not officially) had been made over several years.
So I have advised it’s is all about managing her through performance and adjusting for reduced fitness either due to medical condition and / or physical ability. However there will come a time if not already, when she is actually not carrying out the job she is paid to do and that I find is getting more and more difficult to advice about when we are all expected to work until we drop.
