answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/09/2018 answer text <p>Civil enforcement is a devolved matter and the powers of Scottish Courts in this respect are therefore a matter for the Scottish Government.</p><p> </p><p>However, the Government is clear that where an employment tribunal has made an award then it should be paid promptly. That is why BEIS introduced the UK-wide unpaid award penalty scheme, in addition to other existing enforcement action, to improve award payment rates. Since introduction in April 2016, the unpaid award penalty scheme has levied penalties of £485,646 and secured payment of £829,343 of previously unpaid employment tribunal awards as of January 2018.</p><p> </p><p>The Government also committed to further reforms to enforcement, including unpaid awards, following the Matthew Taylor Review of Modern Working Practices and will update on progress on those reforms in due course.</p> answering member constituency Rochester and Strood answering member printed Kelly Tolhurst question first answered 11/09/2018 16:43:54 answering member 4487 label Biography information for Kelly Tolhurst
