About Us - Department of Labour and Pensions
About Us
For more than 10 years serving the needs of the people in the Cayman Islands, the Department of Labour & Pensions (“DLP”) became the national regulator of Labour and Pensions compliance and enforcement in February 2012 from the amalgamation of the Department of Employment Relations, and the National Pensions Office.
Since this merger, the DLP has carved a unique niche in the market to promote the culture of compliance alongside other Government regulators aimed at enhancing its ability to enforce its legislation to protect the needs of those most vulnerable.
The primary mission of the Department of Labour & Pensions (“DLP”) is to engage, educate and oversee labour and pensions compliance and enforcement within the private sector. As a regulator, the DLP aims to provide a one-stop experience for labour and pensions services and support delivered by dedicated and caring civil servants, operating in a fair, prompt and impartial manner.
