About Us
Welcome to Employment Services. We deal with the following areas, and look forward to assisting you, or your company:
JobCentre
The JobCentre based on Prospect Hill is the ideal way to either find jobs, or advertise vacancies for free. In many cases the JobCentre also retains application forms for most of the Island’s major employers. The job list created by the JobCentre is updated daily, and can be viewed at any Post Office, library, or regional DHSS office Island-wide, and on-line. The JobCentre can provide interview facilities for those wishing to employ, and can provide information and advice for those wishing to undertake further training. The JobCentre also offers a comprehensive Curriculum Vitae word processing service.
Disability Employment Service
The Service helps to enable disabled people claiming benefits to find or retain sustained work. We work closely with employers in supporting and encouraging good employment practices and attitudes in the recruitment and the retention of disabled people. We also work closely with external organisations to improve mutual referral arrangements and employment related provision.
Employment Agencies
All employment agencies, and employment businesses operating from premises within or from the Isle of Man should be licensed for the protection of all concerned. In this way we ensure that high standards are maintained in this sector of employment.
Employment Tribunal
The Employment Tribunal resolves disputes between employers and employees over employment rights.
Work Permits
Almost everybody unconnected with the Island who comes here to work will require a work permit whether they are from within the European Union or the rest of the world . The Work Permit Office is responsible for processing these applications. The staff also assist the Work Permit Committee in looking at the more sensitive applications. This integral office is at the heart of government’s strategy for a fully diverse economy.
Employment Services Inspectorate
The Department’s Inspectorate Section carry out a compliance role with regard to:
- Work Permits;
- Employment Agency Licences;
- Employers Liability Compulsory Insurance;
- Written statements of terms and conditions of employment;
- Wage slips; and
- The Minimum Wage.
We offer advice to employers, employees and members of the public.
