Hiring foreign builders from off-Island at less than the going rate? Not on my watch, says Trade and Industry Minister David Cretney.
In the House of Keys today he faced questions from Onchan MHK Peter Karran about whether the work permit committee took wages into account when issuing permits.
In response, Mr Cretney (pictured) said that was the case and if a company was employing staff at less than the going Manx rate, the permit would be refused.
He also invited people to let him know if Manx workers were being undercut:
Business owners calling for 'wider conversation' around VAT threshold
How could the Mooir Vannin Offshore Wind Farm create long-term economic benefits for the Isle of Man?
Zurich interns raise over £13k for local charities
How will global oil prices impact Manx customers?
