Combined Employer Return (CER) and changes to the 8 hour rule

From January 2022, the Jersey 8 hour rule will be replaced with a financial limit. This limit will be equivalent to 8 hours at the minimum wage that is in place at the start of the year.

For weekly paid employees there will be a weekly threshold based on 8 hours per week at the minimum wage. The employer will need to determine, each week, if the employee has reached that threshold and deduct contributions accordingly.

It is possible that an employee may exceed the threshold in some weeks during a month and not others.  The Combined Employer Return (due January 2022) will require the earnings for the entire month to be declared for tax purposes but for contributions purposes only the earnings for the weeks where contributions have been deducted should be reported.

For monthly paid employees earnings will only need to be declared for social security purposes where the monthly threshold is reached.
