A key policy pledge from the Bahamas’ Progressive Liberal Party to grant workers three annual mental wellness leave days will launch as unpaid time off, the nation’s Minister of Labour and Public Service Pia Glover-Rolle has confirmed. The rollout comes after the policy was first introduced as part of the party’s *Blueprint for Progressive* election manifesto earlier this week, with the critical detail of unpaid leave left unstated during the public launch. Glover-Rolle, who also serves as the Member of Parliament for Golden Gates, clarified the policy’s terms to reporters days after the manifesto event, noting that the current unpaid structure is framed as an incremental first step toward a potential future paid leave mandate.
