Jersey’s employment relations service has reported a significant increase in demand for its services after recent employment law changes.
In 2024, the Jersey Advisory and Conciliation Service (JACS) was approached nearly 11,200 times, a 16% rise from the previous year, according to its annual report., external
The service links the rise to the abolition of the trainee rate of pay, new parental bereavement leave, and settled hours rights.
The report said complex discrimination claims, especially involving hidden disabilities and mental health issues, also contributed.
