STATES OF JERSEY
STATES EMPLOYMENT BOARD: APPLICATIONS UNDER P.59/2011 – ACTIVITY REPORT FOR THE PERIODS JANUARY TO MARCH 2012
AND APRIL TO JUNE 2012
Presented to the States on 24th September 2012 by the States Employment Board
STATES GREFFE
2012 Price code: B R.114
REPORT
Background
Attached are the second and third activity reports outlining the requests that have been submitted to the States Employment Board in line with P.59/2011. They cover the periods from 1st January to 31st March 2012 and 1st April to 30th June 2012.
P.59/2011 identified the need for a process to be used when all posts at Civil Service Grade 15 equivalent and above are to be replaced, or where there is a significant change to an existing senior post that fits into this category. This process has been in place since June 2011.
Departments are required to submit P.59 requests for formal approval to SEB, and where recruitment to a post is necessary this cannot be undertaken until SEB approval has been given. The Jersey Appointments Commission is appropriately engaged in recruitment to these posts once approval has been given by the SEB. The SEB is mindful of the need to ensure adequate provision is made for succession planning and on-Island recruitment wherever possible, when giving approval to applications.
Each P.59 submission has to be supported by a full job description, person specification, organisation chart and, where appropriate, a current job evaluation. Salary data, including any benchmarking data, is provided to ensure informed approval is made by the SEB.
Activity Report January – March 2012
In this period, covering 1st January 2012 to 31st March 2012, a total of 8 applications under P.59/2011 were submitted to the SEB for approval (see attached table for reference and detail). Seven applications were approved and one was turned down pending further review.
Appointments were made in all instances within the approved salary range. Six appointments were for existing posts and 2 were for new posts.
Six posts were recruited to externally, one was an internal appointment and no recruitment was carried out for the post under review. Two posts were additionally advertised in the UK.
The rationale for payment in all cases is based on current job evaluation, relevant benchmarking information and prevailing market forces.
The SEB also received an application for Law Officer posts to be exempt from the P.59 process. This request was turned down. The SEB is clear that all posts falling within the requirements set by P.59/2011 are obliged to follow due process.
Activity Report April – June 2012
In this period, covering 1st April 2012 to 30th June 2012, a total of 5 applications under P.59/2011 were submitted to the SEB for approval (see attached table for reference and detail). All applications were approved.
Appointments were made in all instances within the approved salary range. Three appointments were for existing posts and 2 were for new posts.
Four posts were recruited to externally, one was an internal appointment. Three posts were additionally advertised in the UK.
The rationale for payment in all cases is based on current job evaluation, relevant benchmarking information and prevailing market forces.
There were no submissions under the P.59 process in June
