Sample Acceptance of Retirement Lowering Compulsory Retirement Age
Sample acceptance of retirement lowering compulsory retirement age is necessary following the decision of the Supreme Court in the case of Alfredo F. Laya, Jr. vs. Court of Appeals, et al., G.R. No. 205813, January 10, 2018.
Employee’s consent to the retirement plan cannot be inferred from signature in the personnel action forms containing the phrase: “Employee hereby expressly acknowledges receipt of and undertakes to abide by the provisions of his/her Job Description, Company Code of Conduct and such other policies, guidelines, rules and regulations the company may prescribe.”
The personnel action forms relate to the increase in employee’s salary at various periodic intervals. To conclude that acceptance of the salary increases was also, simultaneously, a concurrence to the retirement plan would be tantamount to compelling her to agree to the latter.
Moreover, voluntary and equivocal acceptance by an employee of an early retirement age option in a retirement plan necessarily connotes that her consent specifically refers to the plan or that she has at least read the same when she affixed her conformity thereto.

The pertinent rule on retirement plans does not presume consent or acquiescence from the high educational attainment or legal knowledge of the employee. In fact, the rule provides that the acquiescence by the employee cannot be lightly inferred from his acceptance of employment.
Below is the sample document expressing consent to retirement rule lowering the compulsory age requirement.
