Theskeat Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 If a Manx Company needs to apply for a work permit to employ a person. that company must prove the the Work Permits Department and produce evidence to back up that the Job Vacancy has been advertised at the Job Center and in at least two local papers or radio, failure to do so will result in the application for a permit being turned down. Ok if thats the rules then they should apply to off Island companies that have won Government Contracts, they dont why. As it is an offence for a person who requires a permit to start work without one. The application for a permit should be made up to a month in advance of the proposed starting date. The employer is expected toadvertise the employment concerned so that Isle of Man workers have the chance to apply, or show why the employment could not be done by an Isle of Man worker. From DTI regulations. On asking the DTI why this rule did not apply to of Island Contrators who have brought labour in by using a UK agency, they could not even give a reply.

Max Power Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 They still need a work permit to work here, it's unreasonable to suggest that a specialist company should need to hire new staff to carry out short term contracts. It's hard enough to find skilled staff on the Island as it is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoepatshoe Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Having recently had a conversation with the Work Permit dept, an advert in the Courier and a quick call to the Job Centre will prove sufficient when satisfying the 'are there any locals who want the job' criteria. Or so I was told. To be honest, there's a lot of smoke around 'workers from across stealing jobs' on this island but you try advertising for a responsible worker in the paper for £20k per annum and see what turns up. A load of kids and drunks and not much else - that's what! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed but this has nothing to do with specialist jobs. When ever Ive applied for a permit for a worker they have insisted on seeing the adds for the jobs. Why have rules for one and not another. It makes the system worthless if the rules can be broken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said did they actually refuse a permit after asking for the ad? If not then I cant see what your point is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Skies Are Grey Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Perhaps I am somewhat of a thicko on this....but what exactly is your point Theskeat? That you had a work permit turned down, which given your residence in the UK would seem to allude to the fact that the system is working non?? Or am I missing the point....

manxchatterbox Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 where can I easily find the work permit regulations with respect to the residential address of the applicant ? for example:- does a person for whom a permit has been issued have to notify any change of address??
