Employment (Amendment No. 11) (Jersey) Law 201-: Third amendment

A formal published “Ministerial Decision” is required as a record of the decision of a Minister (or an Assistant Minister where they have delegated authority) as they exercise their responsibilities and powers.

Ministers are elected by the States Assembly and have legal responsibilities and powers as “corporation sole” under the States of Jersey Law 2005 by virtue of their office and in their areas of responsibility, including entering into agreements, and under any legislation conferring on them powers.

An accurate record of “Ministerial Decisions” is vital to effective governance, including:

  • demonstrating that good governance, and clear lines of accountability and authority, are in place around decisions-making – including the reasons and basis on which a decision is made, and the action required to implement a decision

  • providing a record of decisions and actions that will be available for examination by States Members, and Panels and Committees of the States Assembly; the public, organisations, and the media; and as a historical record and point of reference for the conduct of public affairs

Ministers are individually accountable to the States Assembly, including for the actions of the departments and agencies which discharge their responsibilities.

The Freedom of Information Law (Jersey) Law 2011 is used as a guide when determining what information is be published. While there is a presumption toward publication to support of transparency and accountability, detailed information may not be published if, for example, it would constitute a breach of data protection, or disclosure would prejudice commercial interest.

Subject: Lodge the Draft Employment (Amendment No.11) (Jersey) Law 201– (P.17/2019): Third Amendment

Decision(s): The Minister decided to lodge ‘au Greffe’ the Draft Employment (Amendment No.11) (Jersey) Law 201– (P.17/2019): Third Amendment.

Reason(s) for Decision: The Draft Employment (Amendment No.11) (Jersey) Law 201– would amend the Employment (Jersey) Law 2003 from 1 September 2019 to introduce a second stage of improvements to family friendly employment rights. The Minister intends to lodge an amendment to that draft Law that would clarify two minor technical issues as well as making three changes to the way in which employees can take parental leave to address the key concerns raised by businesses during a recent scrutiny review.

Resource Implications: None

 

Action required: Policy Principal to request the Greffier of the States to arrange to lodge the draft amendment to P.17/2019 ‘au Greffe’ on Monday 15 April 2019, to be listed for debate at the States sitting of 30 April 2019.
