There shall be Employment Tribunals for the purpose of hearing complaints from employers, employees, employers' groups, trade unions or any other party with sufficient interest in an employment-related matter.
An Employment Tribunal shall comprise three persons appointed by the Governor, two of whom the Governor shall designate as Chairman and Deputy Chairman, respectively.
The Chairman shall be a person who is or was, subject to subsection (4), qualified to practice law in the Islands and the Deputy Chairman and third member shall be one person each from the employers' sector or the employees' sector.
No person who has practised as a lawyer before shall be appointed Chairman under subsection (3) unless he was in good standing when he ceased to practice law and has not since committed an act which would render him liable for disciplinary action by his licensing body.
Members of an Employment Tribunal shall hold and vacate office under the terms of their instruments of appointment, but may resign office by notice in writing to the Governor and any such member who ceases to hold office, by resignation or otherwise, shall be eligible for re-appointment from time to time.
A member whose appointment ceases under his instrument of appointment while sitting on a panel shall remain a member of that panel until all complaints before it at the time at which his appointment would have ceased have been disposed of by the Employment Tribunal.
The Governor may, by regulations, provide for the constitution, procedures, staffing and expenses of Employment Tribunals.
