Employment rights 'enhanced'...but what about Shared Parental Leave?
Manx Newscast
Tuesday, 1 April 2025 - 8 minutes
A number of changes come into force today concerning employment rights on the Isle of Man.
Written statements are becoming a 'day one right', partners will be granted time off for antenatal appointments, and people going through the adoption process will have the right to leave to attend appointments.
There are also new rights for people taking time off to care for dependents, and changes to the Island's whistleblowing regime.
But there's also been criticism as new rights to Shared Parental Leave have been left out of these latest measures.
In this edition of Newscast, Enterprise Minister Tim Johnston and Interim Enterprise Chief Officer Andrew Stewart discuss the latest changes and confirm that rights to shared parental leave will 'definitely' be brought in 'later this year'.
