The Employment Rights (Increase of Limits) Order 2019 will increase the compensation and weekly pay limits that are payable from 6 April 2019.
The Employment Rights (Increase of Limits) Order 2019 will bring in the following increases:
The new rates take effect where the 'appropriate date' for the claim (such as the date of termination in an unfair dismissal claim) is on or after 6 April 2019.
Where the appropriate date is before 6 April 2019, the old limits will still apply, even if compensation is awarded after 6 April.
Alex Payton comments:
“The increased compensation limits represent the usual annual increase. With the ever-increasing number of tribunal claims employers should ensure they have appropriate policies, procedures and training in place to minimise the risk of a claim.
