STATES OF JERSEY

DISCIPLINARY AND GRIEVANCE HEARINGS: RIGHT TO A FRIEND (P.112/2011) – COMMENTS

Presented to the States on 4th July 2011 by the Minister for Treasury and Resources

STATES GREFFE

2011   Price code: A  P.112 Com.

COMMENTS

The Minister for Treasury and Resources is concerned that the proposer does not believe there will be any financial or manpower implications for the States arising from this proposition.

Work carried out on behalf of the States Employment Board clearly indicates that there  are  potential  costs  arising  for  the  States,  in  terms  of  employment  of  legal expertise, training for HR staff and external legal advice. These costs could amount to at least £500,000 per annum. The Minister feels it is only right that States Members are fully aware of this when considering this proposition. The Minister would remind Members that, in the 2011 Budget, the States set maximum total States expenditure of £690,200,000 for 2012 and £680,300,000 for 2013. The States needs to abide by its previously  agreed  expenditure  limits.  This  would  mean  that  approval  of  this proposition would require other important demands on resources to be displaced.
