Key Workers

For an employee to be categorised as key, the employer must demonstrate:

  • the person is among the best practitioners in the world; or
  • the person has rare specialised expertise that cannot be easily found world-wide; or
  • although not particularly specialised, there is a ‘severe shortage’ of the person’s particular skills i.e. a shortage in Bermuda arising from the difficulty of recruiting persons because there is a general, chronic shortage of resources overseas
  • without the continued presence of the individual the business will be seriously injured to the detriment of the interests of Bermuda and Bermudians; or
  • the person has crucial business contacts which are critical to the business’s continued success; or
  • the individual is directly responsible for creating well-paying jobs to which Bermudians can aspire; or
  • the person is directly responsible for training Bermudians in worthwhile careers and the business, based on its objective assessment of the individual’s attributes, relies on his or her skill and expertise in this regard.
