Under the civil penalty regime employers have the right to submit grounds of objection against the imposition of the penalty within 28 days and also have the opportunity to lodge an appeal against the penalty decision to a County Court. As the numbers of penalties listed above relate to those issued at the initial stage it is therefore possible that some of the penalties the figures relate to may subsequently have been reduced, cancelled or re-issued at the objection and appeal stage.
