Even if he does, it's not going to be a good conversation for him as retirement might not even be an option for him now....

Update: Said employee has now submitted a sick leave cert for 2 weeks with aim to submit other certs until the end of the year - then go on 6 months LSL and force us to fire him after that. All because he didn't get a redundancy.

It wasn't voluntary it was forced on a skills and needs basis. I have a relatively young team that needs his experience. He is (from an age point of view) still a couple of years from retirement and I need(ed) his expertise to help the young Engineers.

I thought you said he would get paid out his sick leave if he retires?

I work with a guy like that, has 30 years experience and keeps all his knowledge in his head. Knows more than the engineers but trying to extract the information from his brain into work instructions is near impossible, making him an absolute asset. I'm trying to get into a role where I shadow him so I can become the crafty old **** they can't get rid of when he retires.
