In recognition of changes in economic and social conditions, the minimum wage has been adjusted, effective 1 January 2026.
The Department of Labour and Pensions (DLP), in partnership with the Ministry of Caymanian Employment and Immigration (MCEI), is committed to providing clear information and resources to help the public understand and comply with the updated requirements.
Employers, employees, and members of the public are encouraged to familiarise themselves with the new rate and consider how these changes may affect them.
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.
