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.

“online, forward-thinking, solution”
We have worked with Offshore Payroll for a few years to help deliver efficient payroll services to our clients, and to support those clients running their own payroll function. It is great to work with an online, forward-thinking, solution, that is actively engaging with users to improve functionality and add new features.
In Guernsey we are used to finding software work-arounds where the technology was not initially designed for businesses based offshore, but Offshore Payroll has been specifically designed with offshore in mind, which is fantastic, and the locally based support means that help is never far away.
