Chapter 8
Employer penalties
[ch 8: page 76]Since 6 April 2014, tribunals can charge a financial penalty to any employer who breaches employment rights with “one or more aggravating features” or “unreasonable behaviour”. The penalty is paid to the Treasury not the claimant. Even so, reps should be aware of it, as a potential extra cost to the employer of unreasonably failing to settle an unfair dismissal claim.
