A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

At the last count, there were more than seven million people over 50 in work, and close to a million more looking for work. If this includes you, or a friend, "Your Rights: Working after 50" is here to tell you everything you need to know to get the most out of work after the age of 50. This book is the easy way to inform yourself quickly and accurately of your legal rights and employment options so you can not only, react with confidence to everything work can throw at you, but also take control of your future. It provides essential advice on everything from planning your retirement to embarking on a complete career change. A wide variety of situations are covered from self-employment to updating your skills and remaining competitive; from pensions to dispute resolution and age discrimination. There is also plenty of advice for those who are out of work and looking for employment, training and support services, benefits, writing CVs and attending interviews. This book answers all the key questions that you might need to ask yourself about working and seeking work. Questions like: What are your employment rights? Are you protected from age discrimination? How do you enforce your rights? What are the best options for increasing your pension income for when you retire? What happens if you are out of work and want a job? Where can you get help and brush up your skills? And what are the best options for leaving work on your terms?
