What happens if my Employers don’t have the money to pay out my unfair dismissal awards

Question: What happens if my Employers don’t have the money to pay out my unfair dismissal awards? Will this be taken into consideration when determining the damages I will receive by an employment tribunal?


Answer by Employment Lawyer. No! Even in situations where paying out may send your employer into liquidation, the courts will not allow this factor to alter the amount of damages which should be awarded to you. The financial state of the company has no relevance to your unfair dismissal and the courts would see damages in these circumstances as neither unjust nor inequitable.
