| Annotation | Under the European Directive on Equal Treatment in Employment and Occupation (Council Directive 2000/78/EC), age discrimination in employment and vocational training will become unlawful on 1 October 2006. This Regulatory Impact Assessment (RIA) is part of the final consultation on the draft Employment Equality (Age) Regulations, and considers the impact of occupational pensions on employers and individuals, on the macro-economy and the Exchequer. The options in implementing the legislation are threefold: a) Do nothing, which would mean that aged-based policies would need to be objectively justified; b) Provide that certain rules do not constitute unlawful age discrimination; c) In addition to (b), provide that other rules, which are always objectively justified are not unlawful.
