Key Legal Issues When Managing a Mature Workforce

Hi! I'm Stephanie Rodin, host of the Speaking with Steph podcast. In this episode, I will address the increasing age of today's workforce and what employers need to consider when working with these older employees. In this episode, we discuss: How employers can navigate the growing presence of older workers while reducing legal risk. What employers should know about retirement policies and why mandatory retirement ages can create liability. When workplace decisions for older employees involving compensation, promotions, severance, or termination may create legal exposure. Why disability-related changes in performance or stamina require careful review and possible reasonable accommodations. Who should be involved when evaluating employment decisions affecting older workers, including legal counsel and insurance professionals. How Medicare coordination works when an employee aged 65 or older is covered under an employer health plan.
