retirer

One leaving work

A retirer is someone who retires or has retired—typically from employment, though it can apply to anyone withdrawing from an activity or position: The company held a luncheon for retirees and retirers alike.

The word is uncommon; retiree dominates in American usage for those who have left the workforce.
