A recent Employment Tribunal case has sent a clear message to employers in Jersey: long-term stress can amount to a disability, and dismissal decisions must be handled with care. Jacqueline Murphy, a former Team Leader at Revenue Jersey, brought claims of victimisation, disability discrimination, and unfair dismissal after being dismissed while on sick leave for work-related stress. The tribunal dismissed her victimisation claim but upheld both disability discrimination and unfair dismissal. However, no compensation was awarded because Murphy had rejected redeployment opportunities and turned down a settlement offer. The case highlights the importance of proportionate decision-making, meaningful engagement with employees, and thorough documentation. For employers, the lessons are clear: stress-related absence can qualify as a disability under Jersey law, dismissal processes must weigh all reasonable alternatives, and accurate records of communication and support are critical.
