BE INFORMED session scheduled for Friday, 17 July to review the proposed labour amendments
You're invited to attend a special BE INFORMED session on Friday, 17 July from 3:00 - 5:00 pm at the Chamber conference room in Governors Square. A special presentation will be delivered by Caymanian attorneys Huw Moses and Venesha McLean from HSM Chambers. They will review the proposed amendments and will respond to questions from members.
The Labour Relations Bill proposes to raise the retirement age to 65 years and increase maternity leave from 12 to 14 weeks; six of which would have to be taken immediately after a baby is born. For the first time, employers will have to give paternity leave to fathers of five paid days and five days unpaid.

The Chamber Seeks Mentors 
The Chamber of Commerce wants you, our community leaders, to be a part of the 2015/2016 Mentoring Cayman programme!
There are many ways in which to spend your leisure time, but none as rewarding than giving the gift of time to a young Caymanian or legal resident in their pursuit of excellence.
The students are selected by their principals and must be top achievers in their class to qualify as there are only 50 spots available.
Mentors have this incredible opportunity to provide personal and professional advice to up and coming, bright and motivated students. Training opportunities for all mentors will be provided. If you would like to be a change agent, register your interest in the Mentoring Cayman programme and let's continue to build a stronger Cayman, beginning with our youth. Contact Trisha Meyerhoff at admin@caymanchamber.ky for further details.
