Phased Retirement
Phased retirement is broadly defined as any program allowing for gradual decreases in working time and workload instead of an abrupt move from full-time employment to retirement. Phased retirement may take one of two forms: a pre-retirement gradual reduction in hours (or days) of work or post-retirement part-time work for pensioners who wish to remain employed.

Transition to Retirement
The transition from full-time employment to complete retirement is an important step in a worker's life. A large number of collective agreements contain clauses pertaining to older workers nearing retirement. Older workers who opt to reduce their working hours, as well as those who opt to work beyond the normal retirement age, need to carefully consider the impact of such decisions on their benefits coverage.
