Laws to modernise employment rights approved by LegCo

A bill aimed at modernising Manx employment rights has cleared its final hurdle in the Legislative Council.

The Employment Amendment Bill 2025 will give the Department for Enterprise powers to introduce new rights for Neonatal Care Leave and Carer's Leave.

The government says this will support parents whose babies need intensive hospital care after birth, and help employees balance work with caring responsibilities.

The legislation will now be prepared for Royal Assent, with the regulations expected to be brought in by the next government administration.
