Is your employer allowed to ask if you are contemplating retirement?

I'm not aware of any law that says that the boss can't ask if you're looking to retire. If he does ask, there's also no law that says that you have to answer him.
Boss: "Jim, you're getting long in the tooth. Are you contemplating retirement?"
Jim: "Well, I'm over the hill, but I'm not dead. I still have a few turns left in the old machinery."
Leave it at that.

Can asking an employee when she plans to retire be seen as age discrimination?
That depends. Feeling harassed or discriminated against due to age is subjective and varies by individual. The best an employer can due is ask the question under reasonable circumstances, which would be a defense against a discrimination complaint. If the employee is approaching what most people consider retirement age, or if the employee has worked for the number of years to qualify for full retirement benefits, then it would be reasonable for an employer to inquire about the employee's retirement plans because the employer will need to plan for replacing the retiring employee.
