Work Permit Policy: New working categories following the end of free movement for European Union nationals

Information about the publication of Ministerial Decisions

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While there is a presumption toward publication to support of transparency and accountability, detailed information may not be published if, for example, it would constitute a breach of data protection, or disclosure would prejudice commercial interest.

A decision made on 16 November 2020

MINISTERIAL DECISION REFERENCE: MD-HA-2020-0074
Decision Date: 5 November 2020
DECISION SUMMARY TITLE: Publication of Work Permit Policy: new working categories following the end of free movement for European Union nationals.
DECISION SUMMARY AUTHOR:	Acting Director, Immigration & Nationality	IS THE DECISION SUMMARY PUBLIC OR EXEMPT? (if exempt state the relevant article/paragraph of the Freedom of Information Law/Regulations)		Public
REPORT TITLE: Work Permit Policy (General Agreement on Trade in Services: Mode 4)
REPORT AUTHOR OR NAME OF PERSON GIVING REPORT: (if different from Decision Summary Author)	Acting Director, Immigration & Nationality	IS THE REPORT PUBLIC OR EXEMPT (if exempt state the relevant article/paragraph of the Freedom of Information Law/Regulations)		Public
DECISION AND REASON FOR THE DECISION: The Minister for Home Affairs has approved amendments to the Work Permit Policy (“the Policy”) in relation to the employment of persons following the end of EU Free Movement on 1 January 2021 and decided to publish the Policy. The UK has now left the EU, and the UK’s Immigration and Social Security Co-ordination (EU Withdrawal) Bill will end the free movement of EU nationals in the UK at the end of the transition period (31 December 2020). This means that the relationship with the EU that extended to Jersey via the UK, will also fall away and as such the Minister for Home Affairs has determined the basis for the Island’s Future Border & Immigration System (FBIS) and the Work Permit Policy as an intrinsic part of that system. The need to make amendments to the Policy is due to the previous Policy being in place to only account for a small number of positions that needed to be filled from outside of Europe, specifically as a result of local employers not being able to fill the roles from within the EU. The Policy has therefore been amended to account for the much larger volume of persons who would require to have immigration permission to work in the Island in a much wider range of vocations.
RESOURCE IMPLICATIONS: None as a consequence of this decision.
ACTION REQUIRED: Customs and Immigration Service to make the appropriate amendments to the Policy and publish it, having effect for any person requiring immigration permission who arrives in Jersey from 1 January 2021.
SIGNATURE:			POSITION: Connétable Len Norman Minister for Home Affairs

Work Permit Policy: New working categories following the end of free movement for European Union nationals

WORK PERMIT POLICY

Introduction

On 31st December 2020 at 11:00pm, freedom of movement between the United Kingdom and the European Union will end and as such free movement to Jersey will also cease. All persons who are non-British or Irish, will require immigration permission to visit, work, study or settle in Jersey.

The purpose of this policy is to set out the main routes available to employers to employ migrant workers. Work permits are a requirement under the Immigration (Work Permits) (Jersey) Rules 1995 and as such employers are required to apply for a work permit for those individuals who require immigration permission to enter or remain in Jersey for work.

Work permits are not required for those that have acquired immigration permission in the form of settled or pre-settled status.

The maintenance of a strict work permit policy will maintain and strengthen Jersey’s position within the Common Travel Area (CTA), allowing the continued free movement of persons within the CTA, whilst retaining a robust external border.

This document sets out the main routes available.

The employer is also required to meet the requirements of the Control of Housing and Work (Jersey) Law 2012 and hold the requisite licensing permission.

Temporary short term employment overview

This route is available for those individuals employed in both the agriculture and hospitality sectors for a maximum period of 9 months. There is also the ability to apply for work within the fishing industry for employment on fishing vessels as crew for a maximum period of 6 months.

At the end of the work permit period employees are required to leave the CTA for at least 3 months before they will be allowed to return. For those granted permission to work in this category they are unable to switch employment or bring dependents to the Island. Time spent in these categories does not lead to settlement.

Applicants are exempt from an English language requirement.

Employees may transfer within the same group of companies without the need for a further work permit but must advise the Jersey Customs and Immigration Service (JCIS) in writing.

Temporary work permits will be considered on an exceptional basis for positions outside the agriculture, fishing and hospitality sector after satisfying the Minister for Home Affairs that the labour cannot be found from within the CTA and the temporary worker criteria can be met. A business case will be required and should be submitted in the first instance to The Head of Service, Jersey Customs and Immigration Service.

Temporary Agricultural Employment

Applications will only be accepted from the Jersey Farmers’ Union, acting on behalf of the employer and the Jersey Royal Company or any other body that is able to demonstrate the ability to meet the criteria set out below.

The following criteria must be met:

Robust and tested recruitment processes are followed to ensure, as reasonably practicable, only genuine migrant workers are recruited from agricultural backgrounds with appropriate vetting taking place

Overseas criminal record certificates are obtained from every country where the employee has been resident for more than 1 year in the last 10 years. Any prospective employee who has an adverse criminal history must be referred to JCIS

Employer must pay the ‘going rate’ for the role

Employer to ensure that the migrant worker is adequately accommodated meeting the minimum standards required which supports their health and wellbeing

JCIS to be notified if the migrant worker does not arrive or depart as planned or if employment is terminated early

The Jersey Farmers Union and Jersey Royal Company will not be required to provide evidence of the above to JCIS. However, they must maintain adequate records and material that demonstrates the criteria has been met. JCIS will request copies of documents as appropriate to ensure compliance with this policy.

Temporary Hospitality Employment within Hotels

The following employment activities will be considered in this category:

Bar Tenders
Waiters / Waitresses
Housekeeping
Concierge / Reception staff
Chefs / Cooks
Qualified therapist (Hotel Heath Clubs & Spas)

Applications will only be accepted from the Jersey Hospitality Association, acting on behalf of the employer or any other body that is able to demonstrate the ability to meet the criteria set out below.

The following criteria must be met:

Robust and tested recruitment processes are followed to ensure, as reasonably practicable, only genuine migrant workers are recruited from a hospitality background with appropriate vetting taking place

Migrant workers have successfully completed a course at a bona fide hospitality and tourism training institution and have at least 2 years post qualification experience

Overseas criminal record certificates are obtained from every country where the employee has been resident for more than 1 year in the last 10 years. Any prospective employee who has an adverse criminal history must be referred to JCIS

Employer must pay the ‘going rate’ for the role

Employer to ensure that the migrant worker is adequately accommodated meeting the minimum standards required which supports their health and wellbeing

JCIS to be notified if the migrant worker does not arrive or depart as planned or if employment is terminated early

The Jersey Hospitality Association will not be required to provide evidence of the above to JCIS. However, they must maintain adequate records and material that demonstrates the criteria has been met. JCIS will request copies of documents as appropriate to ensure compliance with this policy.

Supplementary employment, that is, additional work on a part time basis with a different employer is permitted. Holders of work permits of up to 9 months validity in the Hospitality industry may, with the written consent of their primary employer, take similar work in this industry – see Appendix 5.

Temporary Fishing Employment

Applications for work permits will only be accepted from the Jersey Farmers’ Union, acting on behalf of the employer and the Fishing Industry or any other body that is able to demonstrate the ability to meet the criteria set out below.

The following criteria must be met:

Robust and tested recruitment processes are followed to ensure, as reasonably practicable, only genuine migrant workers are recruited from a fishing background with appropriate vetting taking place.

Migrant workers must possess a suitable qualification and the necessary experience to be employed as fishing crew

Overseas criminal record certificates are obtained from every country where the employee has been resident for more than 1 year in the last 10 years. Any prospective employee who has an adverse criminal history must be referred to JCIS

Employer must pay the ‘going rate’ for the role

Employer to ensure that the migrant worker is adequately accommodated meeting the minimum standards required which supports their health and wellbeing

JCIS to be notified if the migrant worker does not arrive or depart as planned or if employment is terminated early

Skilled Work Permit Employment

This route is available for those individuals employed as skilled migrant workers in any industry for up to an initial period of 3 years following which a further work permit may be granted. Work Permits may be granted to Medical Doctors for up to 5 years in the first instance.

Those occupations eligible for the skilled work permit employment route are at Appendix 1 and are derived from the Standard Occupation Classification Codes assessed by the UK Migration Advisory Committee to meet Level 3 or above of the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF). Occupations not eligible for the skilled work permit route are at Appendix 2.

The following mandatory criteria must be met by the employer:

Robust and tested recruitment processes are followed to ensure migrant workers have the appropriate experience or skills to fulfil the work they will undertake

A genuine vacancy must exist meeting the skills and salary threshold. Roles must not be created to solely facilitate immigration of a specific migrant to Jersey

The minimum salary threshold of £30,000 must be met or the ‘the going rate’ whichever is the higher

The job must be at or above the minimum skill level: RQF 3 or equivalent (A level or equivalent qualification). Migrant workers will not need to hold a formal qualification. It is the skill level of the job that must meet the standard

The migrant worker must meet the minimum English language requirement - B1 or higher (see Appendix 4)

Migrant workers being employed in Health, Therapy, Social Services and Education must obtain overseas criminal record certificates from every country where the migrant worker has been resident for more than 12 months in the last 10 years.

Employer to ensure that the migrant worker is adequately accommodated meeting the minimum standards required which supports their health and wellbeing

JCIS to be notified if the migrant worker does not arrive or depart as planned or if employment is terminated early.

For those granted permission to work in this category they are able to switch employment subject to a new work permit being granted. Migrant workers are able to bring dependents with them when the work permit is granted for a period greater than 12 months.

Dependents may work permit free subject to any restrictions under the Control of Housing and Work (Jersey) Law 2012.

Skilled Work Permit Employment Exceptions

Exceptions to the skilled worker criteria have been granted for a number of vocations where the minimum salary threshold of £30,000 has not been met. Those categories of workers are listed at Appendix 3. Exceptions granted via this route have demonstrated that they are either considered a shortage occupation or significantly benefit the Island.

The Minister for Home affairs will consider applications from any sector where they are unable to recruit from within the Common Travel Area and cannot meet the criteria for skilled work permit employment. A business case will be required and should be submitted in the first instance to The Head of Service, Jersey Customs and Immigration Service.

General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS)

Jersey will be covered by the UK’s World Trade Organisation (“WTO”) membership from the end of the Brexit transition period. The General Agreement on Trade in Services (“GATS”) is a treaty of the WTO. This means that once WTO membership applies to Jersey, at the end of the transition period in relation to Contractual Service Suppliers and Independent professionals, including Intra-Company Transfers.

Contractual Service Suppliers

Applications may be considered for persons provided the following requirements are met:

the employer must be based outside the European Union in a country or territory which is a signatory to the trade agreement under which they are supplying services and the employee must be a national of that country;
the person must have been an employee of the company for at least 12 months;
the person must have a degree level or equivalent level qualification, unless they are:
- supplying fashion model services, chef de cuisine services or entertainment services other than audiovisual services under the EU - CARIFORUM economic partnership agreement; or
- supplying advertising and translation services;
where required by relevant Jersey legislation, regulations or sectoral requirements, the person must hold any specific professional qualifications or registrations to provide the services in Jersey;
the person must have three years professional experience in the sector in which they are supplying services unless they are supplying chef de cuisine services under the EU – CARIFORUM economic partnership agreement, in which case, the person must have at least six years’ relevant experience at the level of chef de cuisine and have an advanced technical qualification; and
the maximum period for which a work permit can be applied for on the basis of a contractual service supplier is 2 years unless providing a service under the EU – CARIFORUM economic partnership agreement, the EU – Andean multiparty trade agreement and the EU European Union – Chile free trade agreement, when it is a maximum period of 6 months in any 12 month period.

Independent Professionals

Applications may be considered for persons provided the following requirements are met:

the business must be established on the territory of the country which is signatory to the trade agreement under which they are supplying services and they must be a national of that country;
they must have a university degree or technical qualification which demonstrates knowledge of a similar level;
where required by relevant legislation, regulations or sectoral requirements, they must have specific professional qualifications to provide some services in Jersey;
they must have six years professional experience in the sector in which they are supplying services; and
the maximum period for which a work permit can be applied for on the basis of an independent professional is 2 years.

Intra-Company Transfer

Applications may be considered for employees from the same organisation outside of Jersey who intend to be temporarily transferred (secondment) provided the following requirements are met:

The intra-company transferee must have been working for the same company outside of Jersey for at least 12 months directly prior to the transfer

The company in Jersey and the company outside of Jersey must be linked by common ownership and control

The employment must require company-specific knowledge to undertake project work or for career development purposes

The intra-company transferee cannot move into other work permit employment in Jersey

The intra-company transferee will resume employment for the same company outside of Jersey at the end of the transfer period

The intra-company transferee cannot return to Jersey in this capacity unless there has been an absence of at least 12 months

The maximum period for which a work permit can be applied for on the basis of an intra-company transfer is 3 years, including any extension.

Holders of UK skilled worker or Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 5 visas

Holders of UK skilled worker, Tier 1, Tier 2 or Tier 5 visas may undertake work in Jersey for a period up to 1 month, without the need for a work permit, providing it is for the employer with a business interest in Jersey. This will also be applicable to locum doctors and consultants at the General Hospital.

The company or organisation in Jersey should notify the Jersey Customs and Immigration Service of the following:

Explanation of why the UK migrant worker is needed.

Copy of the biodata page of the passport and the page showing the current UK immigration endorsement.

Employment for periods in excess of 1 month will require a work permit and application for further leave to remain in Jersey.

Entertainers from UK and Overseas

Entertainers in possession of a UK Tier 5 Temporary Worker visa can work in Jersey as a performer for up to 1 month without the need for a work permit.

The employer in the Island should produce the following:

Copy of the biodata page of the passport and the page showing the current UK Immigration endorsement. In the case when the entertainer has not yet entered the UK or applied for an entry clearance the certificate of sponsorship will suffice.

Details of their performance in Jersey

If the entertainer is staying for longer than 1 month or is applying directly from overseas a work permit will be required.

The employer will need to:

Provide details of the performance

Ensure that the migrant worker is adequately accommodated meeting the minimum standards required which supports their health and wellbeing

Ensure JCIS is notified if the migrant worker does not arrive or depart as planned or if employment is terminated early.

Student Medical Placements

There is no requirement for a work permit for student medical placements at the General Hospital which involves observation duties only.

Notification of such placements should be made to JCIS providing a copy of the student’s biodata page of their passport and the page showing the current UK immigration permissions.

Promotion

An employer, who wishes to promote an employee, must apply for a new work permit. A new work permit will not be required when the job and employment conditions have remained the same but the employee has simply taken on additional responsibility within that role.

If an employer wishes to move an employee to another post then an application must be made for a new work permit.

Acquisition or re-structuring of business or company

If a work permit holder is employed by a company that has been acquired by another business entity or re-structured to form a new enterprise, it will not be necessary for a fresh application to be made, if the duties and responsibilities are the same. The company should notify the Jersey Customs and Immigration Service in writing of the change and details of those permit holders affected.

In Country Work Permit Applications

Applications may be considered for employees who are in authorised employment in the UK, Jersey, other Channel Islands or Isle of Man. In these cases the same criteria applies and a work permit may be granted for 3 years.

If the application is for an individual who is in employment in Jersey the new employer may be informed that their application has been approved “in principle”. However, written confirmation of the resignation and their last working day will be required from the current employer before the permit can be issued. The new employer must also indicate in writing when they are to start. The work permit will be made valid from that start date.

Adverse immigration history and criminal convictions

In general, a work permit application will not be approved to employ a person with an adverse immigration history, a criminal conviction (for example, drugs/fraud), or, their previous employment and conduct in the Island was unsatisfactory.

Refunds

Work permit fees are non-refundable unless an application has been submitted for an individual who does not require a permit.

APPENDIX 5

Part time work - guidelines for temporary work permit holders

If you have a permit to work in the hospitality industry you may take part time work in addition to your main job provided that

you have the written consent of your main employer (the employer for whom you have a work permit); and

the part time work is also in the hospitality industry; and

it is work for which a work permit would normally be granted.

Your questions and answers

What if my employer won’t let me take a part time job?

You must have your employer’s consent in writing. You should tell your main employer how many extra hours you intend to work and who you will be working for. If you cannot persuade your employer to give you that consent then you are not allowed to take on extra work. The Customs and Immigration Service is not able to assist you if your employer will not give consent.

Can I work in a shop, an office or wherever I wish?

No. You may only take a part time job of a type for which a work permit is normally issued. As you work in the hospitality industry you will of course have a good idea which jobs are filled by permit holders like you. Examples of jobs in the hospitality industry for which permits are issued are kitchen staff, waiters and waitresses, chambermaids and bar staff – so you can, with your employer’s written consent, take part time jobs like those. If you are not sure if you are allowed to take a particular part time job, contact the Customs and Immigration Service at the address shown.

How many hours can I work part time?

There is no fixed limit but you should not work more than 15 to 20 extra hours a week above a normal working week. A normal working week may be regarded as around 40 hours. Remember you have a duty to your main employer to be fit and able to carry out the job for which you have a permit.

Do I need to have another work permit for a part time job?

No. As long as you meet the conditions set out in these guidelines you do not need another permit and there is no need to tell the Customs and Immigration Service.

What will happen if I take a part time job without my employer’s consent?

If you take a part time job without your employer’s consent you risk having your permit cancelled. You will then be required to return abroad and may well not be granted another work permit.

Should my part time employer give me a contract of employment?

If you work eight hours or more a week for your part time employer then you should be given a written statement of the terms and conditions of your part time job. Further advice on this and other employment matters may be obtained from the Jersey Advisory and Conciliation Service, 3rd Floor, 1 Seale Street, St Helier. JE23QG, telephone 730503.
