Retirement option

Post by abbo75 »

I'm considering leaving Royal Mail at 60. Does anyone know if I can say I'd like to retire from Royal Mail but then start another job or become self employed without losing any other benefits, like shares.

If you leave RM at 60+ you are deemed to be retiring and can keep your shares regardless of the 3/5 year rule.
