Government Co-Funded Payroll Scheme Phase 3+: Approval of guidance

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While there is a presumption toward publication to support of transparency and accountability, detailed information may not be published if, for example, it would constitute a breach of data protection, or disclosure would prejudice commercial interest.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:

Approval of the guidance for the Government Co-Funded Payroll Scheme (CFPS) Phase 3+

Decision(s):

The Minister approved the guidance for the Co-Funded Payroll Scheme Phase 3+ as summarised in the accompanying report and appended to this decision.

Reason(s) for Decision:

 

The Minister for Treasury and Resources approved MD-TR-2020-0143, to establish the Co-Funded Payroll Scheme Phase 3+. This guidance is for the Government Co-Funded Payroll Scheme Phase 3+, for the application period 1st November 2020 to 31st December 2020. For the avoidance of doubt, this guidance replaces guidance for the CFPS Phase 3 published on gov.je in November 2020 for claims made in respect of October 2020.

 

Article 15(3) of the Public Finances (Jersey) Law 2019 states that the approval by the States of a Government Plan authorises the Minister to direct how an approved appropriation for a reserve head of expenditure in the plan may be spent (including on another head of expenditure) in the first financial year covered by the Plan.

 

The guidance for the Co-Funded Payroll Scheme Phase 3+ was agreed on 30 November 2020 by the Ministers for Social Security; External Relations; and Economic Development, Tourism, Sport and Culture.

Resource Implications:

There are no additional resource implications arising from this decision.
