Employment Violations Tip Line

During this difficult time that is affecting both employees and employers, a number of queries have been raised with the Ministry of Labour, Community Affairs and Sports regarding compliance with the Employment Act 2000 (the “Act”).

We would like to highlight the following points in accordance with the Act and encourage persons, who feel that an employer may be in violation of the Act, to contact us using the form below.

• LAYOFF
  • Where businesses have been required to close or are not otherwise able to maintain their workforce, employees may be laid off. During the layoff period, which may last for a maximum of four months, you will remain an employee however your wages may cease.
  • Notification of layoff should be provided in writing and while it may be difficult for an employer to advise when it will reopen, employers should advise their workforce whether it intends to pay their wages, a portion of their wages or none at all, during this time.
• TERMINATION
  • Termination is a result of progressive discipline or serious misconduct. Temporary business closures as a direct result of COVID 19 should not result in contract terminations.
  • Redundancy is a permanent reduction in the workforce. Employers are strongly encouraged to consider layoff however if redundancy is necessary during this time, severance pay shall be provided.
• VACATION LEAVE
  • Employers may encouraged their employees to use their vacation leave during this time, as it may provide financial relief, however this decision rests with the employee and may not be forced.
• SICK LEAVE
