Pay Award 2012: 1% Non-Consolidated: Contingency Funding: Transfer

A formal published “Ministerial Decision” is required as a record of the decision of a Minister (or an Assistant Minister where they have delegated authority) as they exercise their responsibilities and powers.

Ministers are elected by the States Assembly and have legal responsibilities and powers as “corporation sole” under the States of Jersey Law 2005 by virtue of their office and in their areas of responsibility, including entering into agreements, and under any legislation conferring on them powers.

An accurate record of “Ministerial Decisions” is vital to effective governance, including:

  • demonstrating that good governance, and clear lines of accountability and authority, are in place around decisions-making – including the reasons and basis on which a decision is made, and the action required to implement a decision

  • providing a record of decisions and actions that will be available for examination by States Members, and Panels and Committees of the States Assembly; the public, organisations, and the media; and as a historical record and point of reference for the conduct of public affairs

Ministers are individually accountable to the States Assembly, including for the actions of the departments and agencies which discharge their responsibilities.

The Freedom of Information Law (Jersey) Law 2011 is used as a guide when determining what information is be published. While there is a presumption toward publication to support of transparency and accountability, detailed information may not be published if, for example, it would constitute a breach of data protection, or disclosure would prejudice commercial interest.

Subject:  

Contingency funding from Treasury for Central Reserves (one-off funding) to meet the costs associated with the 1% Non Consolidated Pay Awards for 2012.

Decision(s): 

The Minister for Social Security approved contingency funding from Treasury for 2012 totalling £31,124 from the Provision for Central Reserves (one-off funding) as per the schedule in the attached report for costs associated with the 1% Non Consolidated Pay Awards for 2012

Reason(s) for Decision:  

Article 2(6) of the Public Finances (Transitional Arrangements) (Jersey) Order 2011 states that all or any part of the amount appropriated by a head of expenditure may, with the approval of the Minister for Treasury and Resources, be used for the purposes of another head of expenditure. 

Resource Implications:  

The Social Security Department’s revenue heads of expenditure to increase as per the schedule in the attached report by £31,124 and the T&R Provision for Central Reserves (one-off funding) to decrease by an identical amount.  This decision does not change the total amount of expenditure approved by the States for 2012.

Action required:  

Director of Finance & Governance to notify the Finance Manager, that this decision has been approved.
