WQ.387/2020

WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR SOCIAL SECURITY BY DEPUTY G.P. SOUTHERN OF ST. HELIER

ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 20th OCTOBER 2020

Question

Will the Minister state what measures are under consideration in her review of the way in which the minimum wage is agreed, as stated on page 45 of the report accompanying the proposed Government Plan 2021-2024?

Answer

The process by which the minimum wage rate is agreed is currently set out in the Employment Law. As part of the commitment made in the Government Plan, I have asked my officers to examine what scope there may be for making changes to that process. Once that work has been completed, I will report back to States Members.
