Unfair dismissal limits look likely to be changed

A draft order varying the upper limit on the unfair dismissal compensatory award has been laid before Parliament. It will vary the upper limit to the lower of 52 weeks’ pay or the current limit (£74,200). This will apply where the end of employment is after the day the order is made. The government intends the order to be made in July, although the exact date has not yet been confirmed.
