Presented to the States on 22nd January 2013 by the Minister for Social Security
STATES GREFFE
2013 Price code: A R.3
2 REPORT
Background
The maximum number of Side Members that may be appointed to the Jersey Employment Tribunal is 16; up to 8 employee' Side Members and up to 8 employer' Side Members.
The Tribunal Regulations, as amended by the Employment Tribunal (Amendment No. 2) (Jersey) Regulations 2011, provide that Employment Tribunal members are appointed by the States for a term of up to 5 years. If a member requests that their term is extended, the Minister for Social Security may, after consultation with the Jersey Appointments Commission, extend a member's term of office by re-appointing the member to the same office for a second term not exceeding 5 years.
The Jersey Appointments Commission's Code of Practice for Appointments to Autonomous and Quasi-Autonomous Public Bodies and Tribunals' states that "it is recommended that the term of office of a member should not exceed 10 years.".
Re-appointments
Two Side Members, whose terms on the Employment Tribunal are due to end on 15th January 2013, have each requested a 5 year extension:
Mr. Mark Thérin

Mr. Michael Baudains
