It says it's to ensure the Island is aligned with international standards and remains a competitive and attractive place to work.
Tim Johnston MHK, Minister for Enterprise commented: ‘We welcome feedback from this consultation process and are open to hearing the perspectives of the Isle of Man business community, worker representative groups and the general public, to ensure we receive a wide range of views on these important matters.
‘Each of the consultations seek input on the progression of rights in the workplace, with the aim to bring legislation in line with comparable legislation in neighbouring jurisdictions and further afield.
'These improvements will contribute to our efforts in making the Island a great place to live and work and ensuring the Island continues to be an appealing destination for both new and existing businesses.
‘The department is firmly committed, as outlined in the Island Plan, to reforming employment legislation as it has done so far with the first Employment (Amendment) Bill in 2023 with a particular focus on parental leave rights, ensuring it is fit for purpose and keeping pace with an ever-evolving landscape while also solidifying our stance as a secure, vibrant and sustainable place to live, work and do business.’

The consultations will conclude on 29 October 2024.
