Employment tribunal awards to rise

Increase in maximum sums claimable

Tynwald looks set to increase the amount of money people can claim in employment tribunals.

The maximum claimable sum for unfair dismissal will rise from £480 per week to £540 – most redundancy payments are also based on this amount.

In a separate item, the maximum amount that can be awarded in compensation for unfair dismissal cases or sex discrimination will also rise, from £50,000 to £56,000.

The court will vote on both orders when it sits a week on Tuesday.
