On 1 April 2022, the Labour Advisory Council (the “LAC”) reconvened with a robust agenda geared towards strengthening the rights of employees, establishing guidelines for the misclassification of employees and creating further protections for work permit holders.
The LAC, established in the 1960s, is a non-statutory tripartite Government Board tasked with advancing industrial relations and garnering consensus amongst its members to make recommendations concerning legislative amendments, policies, and standards regarding Bermuda’s labour force.
