Pensions Survey commissioned by States of Guernsey Policy Council

The Policy Council have appointed research firm Island Analysis to conduct a survey about pension provision in the private sector. Our experience is that nearly all our clients have stopped offering defined benefit pension schemes to new members of staff, and many organisations have replaced their defined benefit schemes with lower cost "money purchase" schemes. It will be interesting to see what the survey finds, and hopefully it will help focus attention on this increasingly important issue.

Employment Law changes in the UK

The qualifying limit for unfair dismissal claims in Guernsey is 12 months, so will be interesting to see if Guernsey follows UK lead on this.
