Listen "Who decides States Members' pay?"
Episode Synopsis
This episode is an interview with Jennifer Long, who was appointed as independent States Members' Remuneration Reviewer in February 2023.During the interview Jennifer explains that, as elected representatives in Jersey's States Assembly, States Members have a significant impact on the lives of Islanders. It's important that they are paid fairly for the work they do, while also being fair to taxpayers and constituents. Jennifer's role as independent reviewer is to ensure that happens.We asked Jennifer about how her previous experience in parliamentary and regulatory settings makes her suited to reviewing Jersey's politicians' pay. The conversation delves into some of the details of the review, such as how you decide on a fair wage for a role that has no formal job description, and whether States Members themselves have a say over what they get paid.Click here for more information on the States Members' Remuneration Review.Episode host: Emily ThomasInterviewee: Jennifer LongGet in touch with us if you have some feedback about the show, or if you want to suggest a topic for a future episode.
