Employers Who Fail to Pay Tribunal Awards to be 'Named and Shamed'

The Government has announced that the names of employers and individuals who fail to pay Tribunal awards are to be added to the public Register of Judgments, Orders and Fines, once enforcement proceedings have been brought against them in the County Court.

The move is intended to reduce the time that successful claimants have to wait before receiving payment of the amount awarded to them. As the Register can be searched by members of the public, banks and credit reference agencies, it is hoped that this move will provide defaulters with an incentive to settle on time.
