If you have already received your Retirement Incentive letter in the mail and are interested in this opportunity, please make every attempt to return to Labour relations before December 23rd 2020.
If for some reason you are unable to do so, Labour Relations will be open the week of January 4th, 2021 for employees to submit their responses in person. Additionally, responses may be emailed as an attachment to OAPLR@ford.com. Receipt of email submissions will be confirmed by Labour Relations.
Note: Blank response sheets are available in Labour Relations.
Also please note: The retirement window will commence January 1, 2021 and will be targeted for completion by July 1, 2021, predicated on operational requirements. The company will determine the release date for employees who are awarded a retirement incentive. Incentives will be awarded based on Company seniority.
