If you lose you could be ordered by the tribunal to pay the employee compensation, damages, or loss of earnings, and/or pay their costs or expenses. You may also be ordered to reinstate the claimant in their previous role. The tribunal and Compensation Recovery unit will tell you how much to pay and how. If you do not follow the order you will be brought to court for enforcement action to be taken. The HR Dept can support you through this process and our Advice Line insurance covers these awards if you have followed our advice.
