I joined before 1 January 21990/2014 and will reach 60/62 years old after 1 January 2018, do I need to take any action?

No action is required, i.e. the staff members do not need to “opt in” or “opt out”.

On 1 January 2018, all staff members who joined before 1 January 1990/2014 and who will reach 60/62 years on or after 1 January 2018 will have their mandatory age of separation (MAS) automatically changed to 65 years. As a result, all staff members will have their mandatory retirement date changed to the last day of the month in which they will turn 65.  The expected contract end date for permanent/continuing appointment holders in these categories will also be changed to the last day of the month in which they reach 65 years.
