Procedure details
Description
Statutory retirement
Since the age limits were raised, teachers at public schools born in 1964 or later generally retire at the end of the school semester or school year in which they reach the age of 67. For those born between 1947 and 1963, the age limit is gradually raised from 65 to 67.
Application for retirement
It is possible to apply for retirement after reaching the age of 64 (without severe disability) or after reaching the age of 60 (with severe disability).
Postponement of retirement
If it is in the interests of the service to continue working, retirement can be postponed on request beyond the statutory age limit for a certain period, which may not exceed one year in each case, but by a maximum of three years in total.
Proceedings
Civil servants at elementary school, secondary schools, special schools, schools for the sick and vocational schools (excluding FOS/BOS) must submit the application for retirement and the application for postponement of retirement to the responsible government.
Deadlines
The application must be submitted 6 months before entering statutory retirement or before the start of the requested retirement date.
