Employment Tribunals Service: Compensation

Asked by James McMurdockIndependentMinistry of JusticeTabled Answered 22 December 2025UIN 100782

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many Employment Tribunal awards remain unpaid in each of the last three years.

Answered by Sarah Sackman

The Government does not collect or publish data on the outcomes of employment tribunal enforcement actions; however we do publish data on the value of awards from the Employment Tribunal for unfair dismissal and discrimination claims.

The Department of Business and Trade will collect additional updated data on payment outcomes through the Survey of Employment Tribunal Applications in 2026.
