A HR application need data about employees in many different ways. RCM
already gave you one example of a very specific criteria for finding
employees. When a company needs to reduce the staff, it would be nice
if the HR application had a feature to find employees eligible for
early retirement, wouldn't it? It is easy to imagine other examples of
very specific ways of finding employees. Lets say we want to send every
manager an email containing the employees having 30-, 40-, 50-year
birthday next month.

Such functions are illegal and would result in prosecution. You really
do need to keep up with employment law.


Which function is illegal in which country? What is your point? Are you trying to say that it is illegal to find employees in many different ways? Do you want more examples? Or...?


For what legal reason would you want to select employees based on age? Certainly not for decision making on staff reductions.
