The Department plays an important part in ensuring that Guernsey's enviable record of good industrial relations continues. It does this by providing an advisory, conciliation and arbitration service through the offices of the Senior Industrial Relations Advisory Officer. The Service is provided by trained staff who are impartial and able to assist in resolving disputes at all levels. Currently the Department has three advisory/conciliation officers, Mike Mahy, Sue George and Toni Airley.

Advisory Booklets (7 currently) are available covering local employment legislation, including contracts of employment, unfair dismissal and conciliation. The Department also publishes two Codes of Practice - one on dealing with disciplinary matters, another on redundancy.

The Department also issues Employment Guides (15 currently), providing basic advice on a variety of employment topics such as Maternity Provisions, Holidays and Bank Holidays, Tackling Absence Problems, Dealing with Grievances, and Sex Discrimination and Equal Opportunities.

Conciliation is offered free of charge and is a positive means of resolving disputes without either employers or employees winning or losing. Over 60% of individual and collective cases are successfully settled through conciliation to the mutual satisfaction of both parties, and without the need for expensive and often time consuming third party intervention.

Voluntary arbitration can be arranged when conciliation fails to resolve the differences between two sides. Arbitration relies on the mutual co-operation of all concerned and involves a private hearing chaired by a professional arbitrator from the UK.

If either side refuses to refer a dispute to arbitration, the Industrial Disputes Law may be invoked, which provides for dispute resolution through a legally binding Tribunal hearing, which is ordinarily open to the public.
