Employment Tribunals Service
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what steps his Department is taking to (a) monitor payment outcomes for Employment Tribunal awards and (b) ensure that workers using the employment tribunal penalty enforcement scheme receive their award.
Answered by Kate Dearden
We are working across government to make the dispute resolution system more resilient. This includes improving our understanding of enforcement outcomes and strengthening the system so that claimants can recover what they are owed. Along with the Ministry of Justice we have set up the Dispute Resolution Task Force to help inform our work. The next Survey of Employment Tribunal Applications will further help us understand award compliance better when published later this year.
