Post-retirement age dismissals – understanding workplace fairness
Section 187(2)(b) of the Labour Relations Act (LRA) provides that a dismissal may be fair if the employee has reached the normal or agreed retirement age.

It is crucial when considering dismissals that occur after an employee has passed retirement age.
