certainly no HR or legal expert, but I asked our HR department recently if we could offer one of our employees a little something to retire - answer was that it must be offered to anyone meeting certain criteria, can't pick and choose based solely on an individual, and must also meet a certain percentage of employees before that can be done.
while I don't have much faith in many things our HR department tells me, I will agree that you need to seek guidance form a consulting firm specializing in HR issue, or a law firm that does the same. last thing you want is a lawsuit from an employee, retiree, or department of labor about discrimination.
