Guidance notes:
Prior to the introduction of the Control of Housing and Work (Jersey) Law on 1 July 2013 (CHWL), in principle permissions for Licensed staff were granted or refused on an individual case by case basis under the Housing Regulations 1970.
Under the CHWL Licensed permissions are a condition of the business licence that permits a maximum number of licensed staff.
Under the CHWL application is only required by a business should it require additional Licensed permissions, aligning the process as per applications for Registered permissions (previously designated as 'non-locally qualified' under the former Regulation of Undertakings and Development (Jersey) Law 1973.

- Licensed staff as at December 2014 shall be Reported in the Spring 2015 Labour Market Survey
- the public sector was exempt from the former Regulation of Undertakings and Development (Jersey) Law 1973. Under the CHWL this exemption no longer applies.
