Response

1 & 2

The department for Treasury and Exchequer (the Scheduled Public Authority) does not hold comprehensive data on employee or keyworker entitlement to relocation payments beyond those financial elements that have been processed directly through expense claims or salary payments.

Entitlement to relocation support, travel costs, and any related benefits will be set out within the individual employees’ contracts of employment and in line with the Relocation Policy for Public Servants.

The financial information available within the Scheduled Public Authority is limited to expense claims submitted by employees through MyView, which are subsequently reimbursed via payroll, along with payments made directly through salary processing.

The figures provided in the table below reflect these claims and payments and relate specifically to:

Relocation payment:​

Travel costs:​

Data is not recorded in a way to allow the Scheduled Public Authority to extract the request data. Article 3 of the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011 therefore applies.
