If the disposable monthly income is less than £50 then no fee will be payable to the Tribunal.
Fee Reimbursements
An Employment Tribunal Judge will have the power to order unsuccessful parties to reimburse the successful party for any fees paid. However this is not automatic and orders are at the discretion of the judge.
