The Employment Rights (Increase of Limits) Order 2015 has increased the compensation limits and minimum awards that apply to a range of employment claims. In summary, the Order raises the limit on compensation for unfair dismissal from £76,574 to £78,335 and the limit on a week’s pay from £464 to £475. The new rates take effect where the ‘appropriate date’ for the cause of action (such as the date of dismissal or complaint) falls on or after 6 April 2015.
