Proposed Amendments to Employment Regulations 2019

The regulator proposes adding Part 10 to the Employment Regulations 2019 to establish protections for employees making protected disclosures under whistleblowing laws. The amendments prohibit employers and related parties from retaliating against employees through dismissal, forced resignation, or other detrimental actions linked to such disclosures. Employees may seek court declarations for retaliation, potentially resulting in just and equitable compensation awards and mandatory corrective steps from the employer.
