Early retirement plans
Article Abstract:
The early retirement provision in pension plans is used to compensate workers who are retiring early. The provision is also used to fill the gap between the age of redundancy and normal retirement age. Private early retirement plans are implemented by large companies as a result of government restrictions on the use of unemployment insurance which was used before in the absence of early retirement provisions. The FNE agreements, PRP progressive early retirement, ARPE early retirement with replacement and private early retirement plans are compared.
