Employment Rights Payments Change
Annual changes to the payments for unfair dismissal and redundancies will take effect from 1 February 2011.
Under index-linking, increased limits will apply to:
- statutory redundancy payments
- the basic and compensatory awards for unfair dismissal
- the limit on guarantee payment made when employees are not provided with work and
- the minimum basic award for unfair dismissal in health and safety and certain other cases.
The changes include a new upper limit on the amount of compensation for unfair dismissal, which rises from £65,300 to £68,400, and a new £400 maximum for a week’s pay in calculation of redundancy payments, up from £380.
