<p data-pm-slice="0 0 []">From 6 April 2025, new Employment Tribunal compensation limits are in force under the Employment Rights (Increase of Limits) Order 2025. These increases reflect the 2.7% rise in the retail prices index for the year to September 2024. The limit on a week’s pay, used for calculating a number of awards, has increased from £700 to £719. This means that the maximum basic award for unfair dismissal and the maximum statutory redundancy payment rise from £21,000 to £21,570. The maximum compensatory award for unfair dismissal has increased from £115,115 to £118,223 (or 52 weeks’ gross pay, if lower). For certain automatically unfair dismissals, including health and safety dismissals, the minimum basic award increases from £8,533 to £8,763. There is no cap on the compensatory award for automatically unfair dismissals, such as whistleblowing or health and safety dismissals.</p>
