1 Jersey Employment and Discrimination Tribunal Making a complaint under the Employment (Jersey) Law 2003 Please read this leaflet if you are considering making a complaint about your employment to the Jersey Employment and Discrimination Tribunal (the Tribunal). It gives information about what you must do before you make a complaint and gives guidance on completing the correct form and sending it to the Tribunal office. For the sake of convenience in this leaflet he includes she and his includes her. You must use the application form JET1 to make a complaint under the Employment (Jersey) Law 2003 (the Employment Law). However if your complaint concerns the right to time off for ante-natal care or maternity, adoption or parental leave, you must complete form JET1-FF. Please note that a copy of your application form will be sent to the person or organisation against whom the complaint is made (the Respondent). We will also send a copy to the Jersey Advisory and Conciliation Service (JACS) unless both parties tell us not to do so. You should be aware that should the Respondent request the involvement of JACS in the dispute, a copy of the application form will be sent to that service even if you have requested otherwise. What the Tribunal does. The Tribunal hears complaints about matters arising under the Employment Law and also the Discrimination (Jersey) Law The Tribunal is like a court but it is not as formal, for example, nobody wears a wig or gown. However, like a court it must act independently and cannot give legal advice. Almost all hearings are open to the public. 1 Making a Complaint/Emp/2015/JET1

2 Further information. The Tribunal staff can answer general enquiries, give information about Tribunal publications and explain how the Tribunal system works. They may be able to help you complete the form but they cannot give legal advice, such as advising you whether your complaint is likely to be successful. You should forward your completed application form to: The Registrar Either by post or personal delivery to: The Jersey Employment and Discrimination Tribunal 1st Floor Trinity House Bath Street St Helier JE2 4ST Or by to: Or by fax to: (01534) Website: Telephone: (01534) The office is open to the public between 9.30 am and 4.00 pm each day. Further help and advice. You do not need to be represented by a lawyer or any other party to appear before the Tribunal. If you are not sure that your complaint is one that the Tribunal can deal with you can get help and advice from: the Jersey Advisory and Conciliation Service (JACS) on Their website is: your trade union, staff or professional association, if you are a member; the Citizens Advice Bureau (CAB). Telephone: or Freephone: Their website is: Lawyers and other professional advisers may be able to help you prepare your case. Please note: the Jersey legal aid scheme does not pay for employment or discrimination law advice or representation. 2 Making a Complaint/Emp/2015/JET1

3 You do not have to take advice before you make a complaint to the Tribunal. However, you may feel it is helpful to do so. It may be useful to look at previous decisions of the Tribunal in cases similar to yours at Information needed before a complaint can be accepted. Your complaint cannot be accepted unless it meets certain conditions. For example, it cannot be accepted if you have not filled in one or more sections on the application form where information is required. Certain provisions in the Employment Law may also prohibit your complaint from being accepted, for example, if it is out of time. If you are an employer making a claim against an employee, please contact the Registrar to the Tribunal to obtain the correct application form. How soon must I make my complaint to the Tribunal? Certain complaints, including those of unfair dismissal, claims for redundancy payments and for ante-natal, maternity, adoption and parental leave, must be made to the Tribunal within very strict time limits. This date is important and you may wish to contact the Registrar to the Tribunal, JACS or CAB to verify the date if you have any doubts. If your complaint is received outside the time limit, the Tribunal will probably not be able to consider it unless there are exceptional reasons for the delay. For example, you may have been in hospital for the period when you should have made your complaint. Filing your complaint. You may file your completed application form with the Tribunal office in any of the ways described at page 2. You should keep a copy of your application form for your records. It is your responsibility to ensure that the Tribunal office receives your complaint within the relevant time limit. If you or fax your form to us do not post a copy to us. There are no fees payable to the Tribunal on filing your complaint or in relation to hearing your complaint. 3 Making a Complaint/Emp/2015/JET1

4 What happens when I send in my application form? If your complaint is prohibited under the Employment Law or if you have not given all the necessary information we will return your form to you with a letter telling you the reason why your complaint has not been accepted and what action you should take. When your complaint is accepted we will send a copy of it to the Respondent together with a form for their response (JET2). The Respondent will be required to file its response within the next 21 days. Conciliation and Mediation. Unless both parties expressly specify otherwise JACS will be provided with a copy of the application form and the response form. Both the Applicant and the Respondent/s can use the services of JACS until the matter is resolved. The Tribunal proceedings will continue to be processed and a hearing date will be fixed whilst the conciliation process takes place. JACS will always endeavour to reach an agreed settlement between the parties. There is no time limit placed on the process and JACS do not charge for this service. If you do not reach a settlement, the complaint will be heard by the Tribunal at a scheduled hearing. What happens while I am waiting for the case to be heard. Once we have received your response there may be some issues which need to be dealt with before the complaint can be decided. For example, the disclosure of documents by the other party may be required or information in relation to the claim may need to be clarified. In order to get the case ready for a full hearing a Case Management Meeting will be held at an early stage. Case Management Meetings will be conducted by the case Chairman on her own and you and the Applicant will be invited to take part. At a Case Management Meeting the case Chairman will give Directions or Orders on issues and other matters relating to the case, which you must follow. The Tribunal may also hold an Interim Hearing to decide upon any preliminary issues of law relevant to the complaint which must be decided before the full hearing can take place. The Tribunal will issue a Decision following an Interim Hearing which will have a bearing upon the future conduct of the case. The case Chairman may also issue Directions and Orders at an Interim Hearing. It is possible that more than one Case Management Meeting and/or Interim Hearing will be held before the full hearing of a complaint. 4 Making a Complaint/Emp/2015/JET1

5 A Tribunal Chairman may also issue written Directions and Orders concerning the due conduct of a case without convening a Case Management Meeting based upon the written representations of the parties. These Meetings and Hearings will be conducted even if conciliation of the claim is still ongoing. When will the complaint be heard? We will write to you and the Respondent/s to tell you when the hearing will take place. With this letter, we will send you a leaflet called, A User s Guide which will help you prepare. Correspondence. We will allocate a case number and this should be quoted every time you contact us. We will send a copy of your application form and any other documents or letters you send us to the Respondent, if appropriate. We will send you copies of all the documents the Respondent sends to us, if appropriate. We will send you and the Respondent/s any decision the Tribunal makes. You must let us know immediately if your contact details change. If you have a representative (a person you ask to act on your behalf), we will send all correspondence about your case to them and not to you. And, you must pass any further requests for information through them and not straight to us. It is your representative s responsibility to keep you informed. Do I have to pay the Respondent s costs? No. The Tribunal does not make Orders for costs: each party must bear their own costs. If you receive any threats from the Respondent or their representative regarding payment of their costs or otherwise, you should inform the Registrar straight away. Disability or particular requirements. If you or anyone coming to the Tribunal with you has a disability or a particular need, including the use of an interpreter, you should contact the Registrar immediately to discuss the matter so that suitable arrangements can be made. Please contact us as soon as possible, so we can help you. No charge is made for an interpreter s services. 5 Making a Complaint/Emp/2015/JET1
