A number of high profile cases over the years have highlighted the issue
Government is seeking feedback on family rights, whistleblowing and zero hours contracts on the Isle of Man.
Three consultations have been published seeking views on employment legislation.
Current employment laws date back to 2006, and plans to reform them have already been outlined in this administration's Island Plan.
The family rights consultation includes proposals to introduce shared parental leave, parental bereavement leave and the extension of rights to time off for antenatal care.
It also wants views on being able to have paid time off for adoption appointments and provision for "keep in touch days", which allow parents on maternity or paternity leave to be paid to work for a few chosen days before returning to work, to help ease the transition.
Plans for zero hours contracts include a right for workers not in regular employment to request a stable contract after six months.
Feedback is also asked for on the whistleblowing proposals, which would give people extra protection when raising concerns within their workplace.
Government says a number of high profile cases over the years have highlighted the issue, and is now asking whether the Island’s legislative framework could be strengthened.
All three of the consultations end on 26 August.
