Summary
Nadine Fallone won nearly £65,000 at an employment tribunal for unfair treatment, but she still hasn't received the money over a year later. A government scheme exists to enforce tribunal payments, but three-quarters of cases using the scheme remain unpaid. Despite penalties issued to employers, few payments have been made, and no employers have been publicly named for non-payment.
