New register will put bad employers in the spotlight, says TUC

Welcoming the Government’s announcement today (Wednesday) of a register to name people or employers who fail to pay employment tribunal awards, Midlands TUC Regional Secretary Roger McKenzie said:

“This register will help put bad employers in the spotlight by naming and shaming those who fail to pay up when they lose employment tribunals.

“But action against bad employers shouldn’t stop here, and the Government must put systems in place to ensure that everyone who wins an employment tribunal award actually receives it.

“Too many people are still hit by the double whammy of employers acting illegally and then refusing to pay when they are caught.”
