Can you work on day of your 65th birthday?

I have been told by 2 different people that if you intend working on after retirement age and your 65th birthday falls on a working day you must have this 1 day off, something to do with NI contributions. I say 65th birthday but presume with retirement ages going up it would also mean not being able to work on the official day you reached retirement age if a working day. Sounds crazy, that's why I'm asking.

Update:

This question relates to UK. Sorry, should have stated that.

    Rubbish. My husband reached 65 and worked all week, and a year later is still working. NI contributions cease in the month that you are 65. No-one has to take any time off.
