You are saying the onus is on the employer to initiate this conversation about someone retiring at a certain age when that person thinks he or should be able to work on but his or her employer feels that is not the case. If there is diminishing productivity or whatever, then how is that conversation to be framed? You cannot just say we are changing the law and it is up to you to sort it out. Yes, there needs to be some line of sight on how a conclusion will be reached.
