What this law does

This bill amends the Public Service Management Act to let the Portfolio of the Civil Service request human resource information from government entities, which they must provide unless doing so would breach a court order. It also allows Cabinet to create new rules limiting how long non-Caymanian civil servants can be employed and setting conditions on their appointment and reappointment, and to permit information sharing with the Workforce, Opportunities and Residency Cayman Office.

  • Gives the Portfolio of the Civil Service broader power to request human resource information from civil service entities, which those entities must provide unless disclosure would be in contempt of court.
  • Allows Cabinet, on the advice of the Head of the Civil Service, to set term limits on how long non-Caymanian civil servants may be employed.
  • Allows regulations to set limitations, prohibitions, exemptions, and conditions on the appointment and reappointment of non-Caymanians in the civil service.
  • Permits information sharing between the Portfolio of the Civil Service and the Workforce, Opportunities and Residency Cayman Office for compliance with the Act.
