Jamaica Employers’ Federation (JEF) President Wayne Chen says there should be serious consideration of incorporating provisions for employee well-being, including access to care, into employment contracts. However, he said, “We must be careful about not treating it as a stand-alone issue outside of the wider context of workplace health and safety. We also must be careful not to introduce unnecessary complexity into employee contracts.”
