THE STATES are asked to decide whether they are of opinion

  1. to request the Minister for Social Security to conduct a full review of the family-friendly' elements of the Employment (Jersey) Law 2003 twelve months after the parental leave rights amendments outlined in the Draft Employment (Amendment No. 11)  (Jersey)  Law  201-  (P.100/2019)  have  been implemented,  and  to  consider  bringing  forward  for  debate recommendations to provide support (financial or otherwise) for any businesses which may have struggled to comply with the Law and families that may have struggled to access the rights set out in the Law;
  2. to agree that the aforementioned review should include the following, but not be limited to –
  1. consultation with families, including an assessment of the impact on children and the extent of uptake by parents;

REPORT

The  purpose  of  this  amendment  is  simply  to  update  the  reference  made  in  my proposition to the Draft Employment (Amendment No. 11) (Jersey) Law 201- lodged by the Minister for Social Security. The amendment is necessary to reflect the fact that the draft Law was initially lodged as P.17/2019; was withdrawn; and then re-lodged as P.100/2019.

Financial and manpower implications

There are no additional financial or manpower implications for the States arising from the adoption of this amendment.
