Employment Tribunals award millions each year in respect of cases brought before them.
Amounts vary with the highest being awards being made for discrimination claims where significantly, the cap which applies for unfair dismissal is not applied.
The maximum basic award for unfair dismissal is £12,000 (calculated on the same basis as redundancy pay related to the employee's age and service at date of dismissal)?
The maximum award for Breach of Contract claimable in the Employment Tribunal is £25,000. There is no limit in the civil courts.
There is also a Compensatory Award to cover loss of earnings, pension rights and so on. The maximum for this is currently £68,400. These figures are reviewed annually each February.
For cases of Sex, Race, Age, Disability and Trade Union activity, there is no ceiling on compensation, nor does an employee have to have one year's qualifying service to make a claim - they do not even need to be an employee.
