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
