The main consideration should be whether the individual can physically perform the job for which he is being considered. Age should not be a factor in the decision-making process, as it is illegal to discriminate against individuals based on their age. Gender should also not be a factor, as pay should be based on job responsibilities and qualifications. Retirement age is irrelevant, as it is not a factor in determining job qualifications or abilities.
