Add Comment Question: Why do employers even bother complying with civil court judgements, ministry orders to pay, etc given that prosecution for non compliance is rare and collections process takes years? Answer: Employers comply with civil court judgements as there are mechanisms to enforce judgements, which can significantly impact an employer's business. For example, a lien may be placed on the employer's property or equiptment which makes that equiptment impossible or difficult to sell and may negatively impact an employer's credit.
