St Maarten Reviewing Employment Permit Rules
Louie Laveist, Saint Maarten's Commissioner of Labour Affairs, has indicated
that a review of policy regarding the issuance of employment permits is shortly
to be submitted to the Executive Council. Mr Laveist told the Island Council on Tuesday that the policy review is at
an "advanced stage" and that a proposal is likely to be submitted
to the Executive Council within the next three weeks. As part of the review process, consideration is being given to the length
of employment permits, the provision of housing for permit applicants and the
families of those taking up employment on the island, Mr Laveist explained. The Commissioner's responses came in answer to questions on employment issues
raised following the approval of a planning permit for the future Dawn Beach resort. .
