In general, customers may continue working after reaching their retirement age but any contributions paid after retirement age are not reckonable for pension purposes. The entitlement of this customer to continue working may be subject to having a valid work permit and any question in this regard should be addressed to the Department of Enterprise Trade and Employment. My Department does not have any claim outstanding from this customer.
