EMPLOYMENT TRIBUNAL RULES

摘要

Planned changes to employment laws, including the cap on unfair dismissal awards and how employment tribunals operate, were due to come into force on 29 July 2013, as Occupational Health [at Work] went to press. The compensation ceiling for unfair dismissal will be now be set at 12 months' pay or £74,200, whichever is lower. The cap was included in the Enterprise and Regulatory Reform Act 2013 and the Unfair Dismissal (Variation of the Limit of Compensatory Award) Order 2013 on 10 June. According to the government, the cap will give employers and employees more realistic expectations about unfair dismissal award levels.
