It’s unlikely that UK based employees will have contracts directly with the Jersey-registered company. There will be a UK-registered subsidiary in there somewhere. Otherwise it would be easy for any big business to evade UK employment law, by operating out of a territory with lax controls on what an employer can do to its staff.
