Frequently asked questions
Can my employer make me resign?
No. A resignation must be voluntary. If you were pressured or threatened into resigning, it may be constructive dismissal, which the law treats as illegal dismissal.
Can I be forced to retire at 60?
Not without your clear and voluntary agreement. The Supreme Court has ruled that forced early retirement without consent is illegal dismissal.
