Request
I refer to a previous Freedom of Information response published on 29 October 2018 at the following link:
Compromise agreements (FOI)
The response referred to a written question and answer in Hansard from Jeremy Macon. This did not answer the question.
Deputy Macon asked: "Did the States Employment Board give an undertaking that compromise agreements would no longer be issued after the previous Chief Executive of the States of Jersey left and, if not, why not?"
Please confirm that compromise agreements are not currently in use in any States contracts with senior officers.
Response
The States of Jersey use compromise agreements as and when necessary, because they are an appropriate vehicle to negotiate termination of employment within an agreed framework.
