The Employment Forum has begun to review the minimum wage and has issued questionnaires to all those on the Forum's consultation database. The purpose is to seek views about the minimum wage system; to consider whether the current rate of £;5.24 should be increased, and if so, by how much and by what method. The Forum intends to present a recommendation to the Social Security Minister in December to allow businesses time to adjust, if any changes are approved.

Any individual members of the public, associations and organisations are welcome to respond to the consultation. The closing date for responses is Friday 10th November 2006.

The current minimum wage rate is £;5.24 per hour and the trainee rate is £;3.94. £;57.32 per week may be offset where accommodation is provided, and £;76.43 may be offset where accommodation and food are provided.

The Employment Forum was established in 1999 as an independent, non-political consultative body in the creation of Employment Legislation for Jersey. It is made up of three employee representatives, three independent members and three employer representatives and all positions are honorary.
