Limits on tribunal awards go up today

Because of a hefty rise in the RPI index, the maximum compensatory award for any unfair dismissal with an effective date of termination on or after 1 February 2011 is rising from £65,300 to £68,400.

The maximum amount of a week's pay, used to calculate (amongst other things) statutory redundancy pay and the basic award in claims of unfair dismissal is also going up today - from £380 to £400.

You can see the relevant statutory instrument (if you really want to) here.
