Abolishment of an upper age limit at a municipal legal entity

Description

The Ombudsman addressed the legal entity of the municipality of Oropos KEDO, highlighting that the age limit set in the notice for recruitment of music teachers with a fixed-term employment contract, did not constitute an acceptable derogation from the provisions of Law 3304/05 (already Law 4443/16) which prohibit discrimination on the grounds of age, unless justified by specific reasons and under certain strict conditions.KEDO responded immediately and proceeded to amend the notice by removing the age limit, taking into account that the maximum retirement age is 67.
