Overview
The consultation seeks your views on proposed changes to work permit controls.
Why your views matter
The Island is facing significant labour shortages across many sectors of the economy and there are very high numbers of vacancies.
The Department is seeking to ensure that employers can act swiftly when recruiting to roles where they have not been able to find suitable, available Isle of Man workers.
Various other changes are also proposed which are aimed at making work permit controls more efficient and less bureaucratic.
What happens next
The Department will produce a review of consultees’ comments which will be published on the Consultation Hub.
