Sarah King Employment Solicitor

maximum weeks payAs the Excello Law data card goes to print and before I mail these out to clients’ a reminder that the limit on the week’s pay will increase from 6th April 2016 to £479 from the current limit of £475.

This means that the maximum basic award will increase from £14,250 to £14,370 and the limit on the maximum compensatory award will increase to £78,962 from £78,335. This is of course subject to the lower limit of 12 months pay if applicable still in any event.

All the increases are set out in the Employment Rights (Increase of Limits) Order 2016.
