Overview

The government seeks views on the recommendations in the Review of Modern Working Practices on the enforcement of employment rights.

This consultation:

  2. Sets out the government’s plans to simplify the enforcement process for employment tribunal awards;
  3. Outlines the government’s intention to introduce a naming scheme for unpaid employment tribunal awards; and
  4. Takes forward the review’s recommendations that employment tribunal judges should be obliged to consider stronger punishments for employers who ignore previous tribunal judgments and seeks views on how best to implement this.
