I was talking to a motor repair shop owner yesterday (potential member) who is having real trouble employing mechanics, apparently there are some 10 vacancies in the Island and the only applicants coming forward have less than 5 years residency. How does he go about getting a licence to employ them? It seems that there are quite a number of qualified European mechanics going back due to exchange rates etc.
Also does Chamber organise any workshops for small business employers on employment law issues? If not who is a good person for advice on that?
Response
This person needs to talk to Regulations of Undertakings to get either a non-qualified licence or a 3 year joint licence. If neither are granted I guess he gets shut down - is that right in a market economy?
The new Skills Executive need to get onto cases like these. If we could train up the local population for local jobs in some co-ordinated way then maybe all those who rant on about unacceptable population growth might be placated.
Finally Jersey Arbitration and Conciliation Service offer courses on employment law in Jersey - check out their timetable

That's a nice post and thank you for sharing. When you own a business, it is good to follow all the rules and regulations that are laid down for you by the authorities regarding employment law. This makes sure that you do not get into trouble with them, which may lead you to great losses in time and money.
Agreed Rosiee - therefore access to this information should be much easier than it currently is.
