Dear HR Practitioners

We have non-discriminatory policies with respect to the age of our job applicants in our organisation.

This means that we will not know the age of our candidates until they are employed.

This is fine for most cases except when the new hire is near the retirement age.

And since we offer every new employee a three-year contract, I understand that for mature workers, it should be a one-year contract renewable until age 67.

How do we reconcile this situation?

We are in the healthcare industry.

Thank you in advance for your advice.

Mabel
