The States of Guernsey Committee for Employment & Social
Security (the Committee), has opened its consultation on its
proposed multi-ground discrimination legislation. Responses are
invited from stakeholders, who have until 30 September 2019 to
participate in the consultation.
The States of Guernsey have published Technical Draft Proposals,
as well as a summary of those proposals, a proposed list of
exceptions to the legislation, and a questionnaire which can be
used as the basis of a response. This note outlines what we at
Carey Olsen regard as some of the key issues from an employer's
perspective on what is proposed and where your input may be key. To
help you, the note includes comparisons to the key equivalent
provisions in the UK and Jersey law in this area, given that these
are the jurisdictions with which the majority of you will be most
familiar.
