Labour Management System (LMS)

The Labour Management System (LMS) automates all the operations of the Department of Labour and Workforce Development and has two distinct interfaces: a Workforce Development System interface that supports and manages employer/employee interactions, and a Work Permit System interface, that manages the process where employers seek approval to employ foreign nationals in the territory. The LMS can be accessed using any standard browser and does not require installation of any other software.

This online system manages the transactional tasks of the Department and is necessary to accomplish the desired service excellence and effective management of the labour market. The LMS facilitates the posting of employment opportunities by employers; posting of resumes by persons seeking employment; and the matching of those employment opportunities with qualified individuals seeking to be employed. Employers can manage the interview process, and complaints can be logged and tracked on the platform. Adequate due diligence can be conducted efficiently by the Department, and policy and decision making can be based on accurate information related to specific industries and occupations.

This system is only intended for employers, jobseekers, and employees who actively participate in, or are seeking to participate in the labour market of the Virgin Islands. Depending on the profile created at registration, the user would gain access to features that might include a job posting board, interview management, and processing workflows. To gain admittance and log in to the platform, a user profile and login credentials must have been created, beforehand.

Employers

To register and gain access to the system as an employer, you must first attend a training session. Training sessions are held every Tuesday at 9:30 am - 12:00 pm and again at 1:30 pm - 4:00 pm at Ministry of Financial Services, Economic Development, and Digital Transformation. (This is located on the 2nd floor of Romasco Place, below Prime Restaurant, which is in front ‘Maria's By The Sea, and up the stairs beside the FLOW office).  

Bring a laptop computer or tablet, and the trade license number for the company with you to the training.  If possible, have information on at least one of your employees.  Please have scanned copies of their passport bio page, immigration stamp, work permit card, and a photo image on the computer.
