The Minister for Social Security has directed the Employment Forum to consult on the current statutory annual leave entitlement under the Employment (Jersey) Law 2003 (the ‘Law’) and a proposal to introduce an entitlement to a rest break during the working day. This consultation seeks your comments and provides background information that you may wish to consider in forming your response to the survey, including information relevant to Jersey and to other jurisdictions.
Any responses that are submitted will be combined with other relevant evidence to help the Forum to decide whether any changes should be recommended to the Law.
The Forum’s recommendation is expected to be presented to the Minister at the end of April 2020.
