Bill addresses several issues, including shared parental leave
Employment laws including shared parental leave have to reflect modern society on the Isle of Man.
That's the view of Enterprise Minister Tim Johnston as a bill addressing a number of labour issues is progressing through the House of Keys.
The Employment Amendment Bill 2023 updates legislation on family leave, whistleblowing and zero hours contracts.
Mr Johnston says it's important the laws are up to date:
Island-based Strix factory to close
Ramsey operations to transfer to China plant
'Massive chef shortage' on the Island
Eateries closing on several days due to lack of staff
Manx Care seeks interim medical director
Current postholder currently seconded to CEO post
Braddan Commissioners introduces new 'strategic plan' for the next three years
Chair Andew Jessopp says it sets out authority's 'aims and ambitions'
Lezayre Commissioners asking DOI to delay NCAS board formation due to Bride
