Labour Arbitration Tribunal Launches New Website
The Government of the Virgin Islands has launched a redesigned website for the Labour Arbitration Tribunal at https://vilat.gov.vg/. The site offers clearer navigation, separate sections for hearings, decisions and tribunal procedures, and aims to improve public access and transparency in labour dispute resolution.
The Government of the Virgin Islands has introduced a new website for the Labour Arbitration Tribunal (LAT), providing residents with easier access to information about tribunal operations, hearings and decisions. The platform, available at https://vilat.gov.vg/, replaces the previous single-page layout with a clearer, more organised structure designed to help users find relevant materials quickly.
According to the Government of the Virgin Islands, the redesigned site groups resources into distinct categories covering hearings, trials, decisions and tribunal processes. The simple layout and reduced number of tabs are intended to make navigation straightforward for employers, employees, legal representatives and members of the public seeking information on labour dispute procedures and outcomes.
Improved access to tribunal decisions and procedural information supports the Government’s stated commitment to transparency in labour dispute resolution. For BVI residents, that means published decisions, guidance on how LAT proceedings work, and contact details are now easier to locate.
The change may be particularly helpful for those preparing for hearings, tracking case outcomes, or seeking to understand their rights and obligations under local labour law. Members of the public are encouraged to visit the site to stay informed about tribunal proceedings and available resources.
Those who need further assistance can contact the Labour Arbitration Tribunal directly by email at lat@gov.vg or by phone at 284-468-4758. For media or administrative enquiries, the Government lists Communications Officer II in the Ministry of Financial Services, Economic Development and Digital Information at +1 (284) 468-4294 or NaTurnbull@gov.vg.
International media enquiries can be directed to BVIGovernment@dgagroup.com. The announcement also highlights broader government contact options: a one-stop shop for government services at (284) 468-3701, and a virtual booking system accessible through the same number. Additional contact channels include WhatsApp at 1 (284) 468-9760 and the Government of the Virgin Islands offices at 33 Admin Drive, Wickhams Cay 1, Tortola.
Residents with pending or potential labour disputes should review the new LAT website for updates and procedural information and contact the Tribunal or legal advisers if they require guidance on next steps. The Government says more online services will be added over time to enhance public access to government services.
