Changes to the Employer Justified Retirement Age from 1 September 2024

As a result of a ballot of the Regent House (on Grace 2 of 12 June 2024 (EJRA)), there will be changes to the University’s Employer Justified Retirement Age (EJRA) from 1 September 2024:  

  • The EJRA will apply to academic officers, the Vice-Chancellor and the Pro-Vice-Chancellors only; and
  • The EJRA will take effect at the end of the academic year those officers reach the age of 69.

Online materials relating to retirement will be revised from 1 September 2024, including the publication of a revised Retirement Policy.

 

1.1. This policy provides a statement of the University's approach to employee retirement. The University believes that a clear policy will assist employees in planning for their retirement, or for an extension of their working lives, and will allow for effective succession and activity planning within the University.

1.2. This policy applies to all employees of the University of Cambridge, with the exception of employees working for Cambridge University Press and Cambridge Assessment.
