Enhanced Redundancy.

If it's age-related, it's more likely to be called Enhanced Early Retirement instead of redundancy. Which may have tax implications.

I never said that.

There are only a few firm rules. One is that discriminating on the basis of age isn't allowed.

But it's likely that people with a shorter time until retirement may be offered alternative approaches, instead of being selected for redundancy.

It kind of is age related in that a company is allowed stipulate you cant earn more in redundancy than you could earn in your remaining time with the company so redundancy reduces accordingly as you approach retirement . At least that was the rule in the company i worked for and it was union negotiated package in a multinational so it would be the norm unless you have an unbelievable generous company who would ignore that rule but i doubt one exists
