The Annual review of compensation limits has been announced this week. As always, the limits have been adjusted to align with the Retail Price Index and the most notable changes are as follows.
- An increase in the maximum Compensatory Award for unfair dismissal from £72,300 to £74,200
- An increase in the maximum amount of a week’s pay from £430 to £450. This maximum is used to calculate statutory redundancy payments as well as the basic and additional awards for unfair dismissal.
These new limits come into force on the 1st February 2013.
