Tribunal
award levels
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 award levels 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 figures which are in effect
from 1 February 2005, 2006,
2007
and
2008
are set out below.
