EMPLOYMENT LEGISLATION
BENEFIT REPAYMENT
(PL720 Rev 4):
a guide for
employers required to repay state benefit previously claimed by
an employee who has won an employment tribunal award
Contents
Introduction
Recoupment Regulations made by the
Secretary of State under employment legislation enable the Benefits
Agency to recover from employers some or all of the amount of
Jobseekers' Allowance and income support paid to employees who
have subsequently been awarded compensation by an employment tribunal.
This document describes the recoupment
procedure and the tribunal awards to which it applies. It gives
general guidance only and should not be regarded as a complete
and authoritative statement of the law. If you have any queries
after reading this document, the Benefits Agency local office
will be happy to help.
