Manpower returns

About manpower returns

Every business or organisation in Jersey that holds a business licence must submit manpower returns. Manpower returns give us valuable information on Jersey's labour market and inform government's policies.

The frequency and how you submit your returns depend on if you're an employer or a single person business.

You do not need to make any payment for manpower returns.

Information you need to provide

You need to provide information about your business and for each employee. If you're a single person business, you only need to include yourself.

About your business

All the information you need to provide is listed on your business licence:

business (undertaking) reference
business name (if you're a sole trader or partnership this is your personal name(s))

Employees' information

You need to provide information about each person working for your business. If you're a single person business you only need to include yourself on the return.

Information you need to provide include:

Social Security number (found on the registration card)

You must be registered for online services to submit your combined employer returns. If your business is already registered you don't need to register again.
