Jersey: Employment Litigation/ Tribunals

Recent Jersey Employment and Discrimination Tribunal decisions from July 2026 reveal critical implications for employers regarding statutory rights, disability discrimination claims, and procedural compliance. The rulings clarify when provision, criteria or practice (PCP) requirements are met, how retrospective cap increases apply to discrimination awards, and the importance of clear contractual language in displacing statutory holiday rights.

We are often asked to review employment contracts, including post-termination restrictions.

Jersey’s draft anti-discrimination law for race allows the Tribunal to make a maximum award of £10,000 if the complaint is upheld or proven; this is for financial loss.
