Feel you've been 'unfairly'
dismissed?
Your
Right to re-employment...
Did you know
that with effect from 1st October
2009, Article 77 (as amended) of the
EMPLOYMENT (JERSEY) LAW 2003, permits the
Jersey Employment Tribunal to consider two
different options for the re-employment of
an employee?
As such, employees who have been unfairly
dismissed by their employer can now ask the
Tribunal to award, as an alternative to any
financial compensation, an order for reinstatement
or re-engagement.

What is Reinstatement?
In instances
when an award of Reinstatement has been
made, the employee must be treated as though
the dismissal had not occurred, with no loss
financially, loss of seniority or loss of
continuity of service.
What is Re-engagement?
When an award
of Re-engagement has been made, the employee
must be re-employed, however, not necessarily
in the same job or on the same terms and
conditions of the initial employment. But as
far as possible, the terms must at least be
as favourable as if the employee had been
reinstated, unless the employee is partly to
blame for the dismissal.
