全国职工总会副秘书长黄志豪建议,政府应按原定计划,从2022年7月起,调高退休和再雇佣年龄顶限。

去年5月,政府为了减轻企业在疫情下负担,而宣布年长员工公积金缴交率的调高,从原定今年1月1日,延缓一年落实。

但职总却认为,应该按劳资政去年达成的共识,从明年1月起开始调高。

黄志豪称,考量到整体的劳动市场的反应以及政府提供的协助、以及当前疫苗计划已推行,“我们认为这是可以进行的,因为我们本就要为我们年长员工的退休储蓄铺路。”

他指截至去年6月,即便在疫情下本地年长员工就业率,仍增加近1个百分点,为此认为年长员工的就业率已趋向稳定。

他指出,目前更多企业意识到年长员工的重要。黄志豪也呼吁雇主,在转向数码化和灵活工作下,不忽略年长员工的机会和培训。

回溯2019年,总理在国庆群众大会演说,宣布政府将在2021年迈出第一步,在未来十年逐步把退休年龄和重新雇佣年龄,分别调高至65岁和70岁。
