No, all employment tribunal awards and ACAS settlements can be enforced by The Sheriffs Office regardless of their value.

There are currently no fees charged by the Employment Tribunal to make a claim. If you choose to use a High Court Enforcement Officer (HCEO) to enforce it, there is a court fee for the writ. There is no compliance fee payable for the enforcement of employment tribunal awards.

There is a court fee, payable to HMCTS. If enforcement is successful, this is recovered from the defendant, along with the original award, interest and enforcement costs.

If enforcement is not successful, there is normally nothing further to pay. Note: this only applies to the enforcement of employment tribunal awards and ACAS settlements. There is a compliance fee for all other types of judgment enforcement.

You can instruct us online to enforce either employment tribunal awards or ACAS settlements.

You can find out more about enforcing your employment tribunal award or ACAS settlement by The Sheriffs Office in our employment tribunal award page.
