Just the limits

The wheeze for me in annually updating the employment tribunal compensation limits is to cut and paste the previous year’s copy and stick in the new figures. But the editor may spot what I’m up to so here’s some text rearrangement.

The Employment Rights (Increase of Limits) Order 2020 (SI 2020/205) raises limits to reflect RPI movement by 2.4% where the axe is treated as falling (to wit, the ‘appropriate date’) on or after 6 April 2020. That, for example, is reflected in ‘one week’s pay’ which is used for calculating the basic and additional unfair dismissal awards and redundancy payments in an extra £13 at £538. The limit on the compensatory award for unfair dismissal climbs from £86,444 to £88,519.
