How many States employees have been dismissed in the past five years (broken down by year: 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014)? 

Please list by States department, job title, pay band, length of suspension before dismissal and reason for dismissal.

Response

The table below identifies the number of dismissals broken down by year and department from 2010 to 2014.

The data has been presented in a way that will not identify former employees as this information is personal information and so is exempt under Article 25 of the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011 (the “FOI Law”), which refers to personal information.

The job title and pay band information cannot be disclosed because its disclosure to a member of the public would contravene one or more of the data protection principles, which are set out in Part 1 of Schedule 1 to the Data Protection (Jersey) Law 2005. As a public authority, the States of Jersey must observe all of the data protection principles when processing personal data. The exemption from the duty to disclose personal data, where to do so would breach a data protection principle, is an absolute exemption, therefore the public interest test in Part 2 of the FOI Law does not apply.

A Suspension Review Panel meet on a regular monthly basis to review all suspensions lasting longer than a period of 20 working days (or 28 calendar days). The Panel is concerned with the process of suspension; it reviews the appropriateness of the suspension, alternatives to suspension, that the employee was suspended within the terms and conditions of their employment and that they are receiving suitable support. The aim of the Panel is to ensure the suspension is resolved in a timely way.
