Enforcing An Employment Tribunal Award (Advice To Employee)

If you are an employee who has been awarded money by an employment tribunal, but your employer has not paid you, you may be able to enforce the award in the civil courts. This document provides advice on how to do this.

• Ensuring that the amount of the award is calculated correctly, and that any interest owed is included

• Checking that the award is still valid - it may have expired, or been set aside on appeal

• Making sure that you have the correct name and address for the employer, as this is who you will need to take action against

• Considering whether you have any other options for enforcing the award, such as using an enforcement agent or applying to have the employer's bank account frozen
