Fees were introduced following a consultation exercise in 2012. A summary of the representations received, including on whistleblowers, and the Government’s response, are set out in “Charging Fees in Employment Tribunals and the Employment Appeal Tribunal” which is available on the Ministry of Justice website at: https://consult.justice.gov.uk/digital-communications/et-fee-charging-regime-cp22-2011/results/employment-tribunal-fees-consultation-response.pdf Fee remissions are available so that those who are unable to afford to pay the fee are not prevented from accessing the Tribunal. answering member constituency North West Cambridgeshire answering member printed Mr Shailesh Vara question first answered 10/03/2015 17:11:48 answering member 1496 label Biography information for Shailesh Vara

	tabling member printed	Baroness Corston
	uin	HL2624
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/10/2015 answer text The Weighted Annual Volume (WAV) was not estimated. Flat projections were made for each contract package area and made available to bidders for the purposes of bid evaluation. The contracts held with Community Rehabilitation Companies (CRCs) include a payment mechanism which accounts for changes in volumes (paying providers more if volumes increase, and less if volumes decrease). This was communicated to providers throughout the bidding and competition process. answering member printed Lord Faulks question first answered 28/10/2015 13:31:13 answering member 4183 label Biography information for Lord Faulks

	tabling member constituency	Barrow and Furness
	tabling member printed	John Woodcock
	uin	213071
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/11/2014 answer text The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) rewards individuals for exceptional contributions which further the aims and objectives of the department or meet an exceptional shorter-term operational challenge. The MoJ currently offers two types of reward and recognition: cash awards and voucher awards. Cash awards are payments of non-consolidated performance pay for amounts of up to £100 for a once-off contribution or payments of £100 - £500 for sustained outstanding contribution. Voucher awards are vouchers up to the value of £50 to recognise outstanding once-off contributions, or contributions which a benchmarking panel considers deserve recognition but do not warrant a higher payment. For the financial year April 2013 to March 2014 4,555 cash awards were made, the total value of which was £968,751. 21,898 vouchers were awarded, the total value of which was £639,260. Information on reward and recognition is collated on an annual basis so the data for March 2014 to date is not currently available. Like other organisations, we use a full range of pay and reward mechanisms which will reward exceptional performance from our staff both in year and for a sustained level of performance over the year. Both ensure responsible use of public money. Since 2010 we have reduced our spend on instant rewards by almost 30%, with significant saving for the taxpayer. answering member constituency Bermondsey and Old Southwark answering member printed Simon Hughes question first answered 10/11/2014 16:37:09 answering member 194 label Biography information for Simon Hughes
