Comments

not sure what more trouble you expect
They have done something “wrong”
You took them to employment tribunal, who found in your favour and awarded you a sum
They owe you
Can you confirm if you are still employed there or not ?

If the respondent does not pay
If you do not get your payment, contact them to find out why.
If they still do not pay, you can ask the Fair Work Agency to contact them. You can also ask a court to force them to pay.
You cannot do these things if the respondent has appealed, or is about to. They have 42 days to appeal.
If the respondent is ‘insolvent’ (for example, they’re in administration, liquidation or receivership) you can make a claim for money they owe you, including redundancy payments.
Ask the Fair Work Agency to tell the respondent to pay
You can ask the Fair Work Agency to contact the respondent and tell them to pay your employment tribunal award.
The respondent will get a warning notice telling them to pay. If they do not respond to the notice within 28 days, they may have to pay a fine.
You can still get a court to force them to pay.
Forcing them to pay if you’re in England or Wales
You can use the Fast Track scheme to send a high court enforcement officer (similar to a bailiff) to demand payment from the respondent. It costs £71, which is added to the debt the respondent owes you.
Fill in the Fast Track Enforcement form (or an application to enforce an awardform if your case was settled before a hearing) and send it to the address on the form.
You can also ask the local County Court to get the money from the respondent.
Fill in an application to enforce an award form and send it with a copy of the tribunal’s decision to your local County Court. They will review your application and register a County Court Judgment for debt.
The respondent will get an email or letter that explains the debt they owe and when they must pay it by.
If they do not respond by the deadline, fill in an application for a warrant formand send it to your local County Court. They will send a county court bailiff to get the money from the respondent. This costs £83, which is added to the debt the respondent owes you.
