EMPLOYMENT tribunal award limitS 2005-2013

Erich Suter Park Chambers Site Index   Page updated 21 December, 2011

One of the most most important questions in any employment law related situation is “what is this claim worth?” or “what is the likely cost us?”. Whilst it is not always easy to work out the actual cost in detail it is useful to know the starting point - particularly where the employment tribunal award limits changes annually. The relevant date for looking at the amount of an award in relation to a case is the date of the event giving rise to the award – eg: in an unfair dismissal case it will be the effective date of termination of employment. The employment tribunal limits for awards from 1 February 2005 on are set out below.    (For information about making a claim, employment tribunal forms and employment tribunal offices click here.)
