Compensation limits
The annual increase in compensation limits for claims in the employment tribunal will be in line with the increase in the Retail Price Index (RPI).
The increases will be effective from 1 February 2009.
The main changes include: an increase from £63,000 to £66,200 for the limit on the compensatory award for unfair dismissal and an increase from £330 to £350 for the maximum amount of a “week’s pay” for the purposes of calculating the basic or additional award of compensation for redundancy payments or unfair dismissal.
