Problems with Ex employer.
I had early retirement nearly 2 years ago.
Since I left 3 people have been employed doing the job I did and have left suddenly.
There was a clause in my retirement terms saying that I had to answer any queries in relation to my past job for a reasonable period of time.
I am still getting phone calls 2 or 3 times a week and I feel in view of the time I have been gone this is unreasonable. Some of these calls have been at 7.30 in the morning on my mobile when I have been on holiday.
Does anybody know if there is a definition of reaonable time in this case.
Everybody else who had this clause in their retirement who retired at the same time as me were called occasionally for about 3 months and the calls then stopped.

In my case there was no question of any action if I had not gone back to help.
After 2 years I could say I did not rember the job and I did have to stop to think anyway.
As I left under a redundancy / retirement type agreement there were clauses saying I must not make untrue derogatory remarks about the company and I must be fair in my own dealings in retrement and if necessary act as a witness for the company.
Really I think the company had an unfortunate combination of circumstances so that is why I tried to help.
