When an employee retires, companies should include the following:
  • Confirm the retirement date in writing as the employee approaches their retirement age
  • If applicable, state in the letter that employment will end on this date in accordance with normal retirement age
  • Plan for the gap they will leave behind. Appoint a caretaker or recruit a new employee
  • Arrange the handover of work
  • Calculate how much money is due to them from outstanding holiday pay, bonus payments etc
  • Calculate any entitlements they may have under employee share or share option schemes
  • Calculate what needs to be deducted from their final payment e.g. income tax and National Insurance contributions (NICs)
  • Some businesses also give the employee an enhanced pension or extra payment in the case of early retirement or retirement due to ill health
  • Carry out an exit interview
  • Retrieve company property e.g. security pass, company car, laptop computer
  • Arrange a gift and/or social event at work to celebrate the employee's contribution to your business
