This law aims to protect workers aged 55 and older from unjust dismissal before reaching retirement age by requiring a positive decision from a special commission before termination can occur. The commission must consist of an equal number of representatives from both employers and employees, with its creation governed by the collective agreement or employer regulations. The law applies to workers aged 55 and older across all sectors in Kazakhstan. The commission must review each dismissal case. Failure to follow this process by employers can lead to the worker's reinstatement. The procedure is mandatory and aims to protect older workers' rights. Ongoing implementation, with decisions reviewed as part of employment processes.
