Heat stress is more than just feeling hot. It happens when the body cannot cool itself properly, and it can lead to serious heat-related illness if ignored.

Workers exposed to high temperatures, humidity, direct sunlight, physical labor, dehydration, or heavy protective clothing are at greater risk.

This summer, protect yourself and your team: drink water often, take breaks, cool down when needed, and report symptoms early.

Water. Rest. Shade. Speak Up.

🌀 The Atlantic Hurricane Season begins today. Are you ready?

Today, 1 June, marks the official start of the Atlantic Hurricane Season. In the Cayman Islands, hurricanes are not just a possibility, they are a reality we must be prepared to face. That's why readiness isn't a one-time activity; it's a commitment we make every day to protect our families, homes, businesses, and communities.

Preparation is a shared responsibility. The Cayman Islands Government continues to strengthen its communication channels to ensure everyone has access to verified weather updates, emergency warnings, and official shelter information. During an emergency, relying on trusted sources helps prevent the spread of rumours and misinformation, allowing you to make informed decisions with confidence.

Don't wait for a storm to be on the horizon.

Did you know that, under the National Pensions Act, employees in the Cayman Islands between the ages of 18 and normal pension age must be enrolled in a pension plan?

Some exceptions apply:

🔹Employers are not required to provide a pension plan for employees who do not have Caymanian status or permanent residency and who have worked in the Islands for nine months or less.
🔹Household domestics or gardeners who do not possess Caymanian status or are permanent residents are also excluded.
🔹Self-employed individuals must contribute to an approved pension plan or an individual pension account.
🔹For part-time employees, employers may establish separate pension plans with the approval of the Director, as long as the benefits are equivalent to those provided to full-time employees.

Stay informed about your rights and responsibilities under the law.
