phased retirement  

Definition

  • Phased (or gradual) retirement normally means that an older worker remains with his or her employer while gradually reducing effort and hours worked. The reduced work time is viewed as a step toward full retirement and can take the form of fewer hours per day, week, month, or year. [Source: Encyclopedia of Career Development; Phased Retirement]
