Introduction

The States has clarified that it intends that a-typical and casual workers would be protected in the employment field, but some situations of self-employed persons
(where this is more like service provision than an employment relationship) would not be protected.

The States wants the wording of the ordinance to ensure agency workers are also protected.

Original Policy Proposals (2019)

Definition of employee did not cover all employees and workers covered in the UK.

Consultation Feedback (2019-2020)

The range of persons who could make an employment discrimination complaint appeared to be narrower than under the existing Sex Discrimination Ordinance and the UK Equality Act 2010.

Final – What the States have Agreed (2020)

Clarification: The Committee intends to include a wide range of “workers”. A-typical and casual workers would be protected in the employment field, but some situations of self-employed persons (where this is more like service provision than an employment relationship) would not be protected. The Committee proposes that agency workers are also protected.
