does anyone know what payout of compunsation is,when you win the unfair dissmisal case?

Answer 1

If you take it to tribunal and you win, the tribunal can offer one of 3 remedies:

1. Re-instatement (your old job back)
2. Re-engagement (another job at the same Company)
3. Compensation.

IF you get compensation it will be made up of the following:
The basic award is calculated as follows:

[AGE FACTOR] x [COMPLETE YEARS SERVICE] x [WEEK'S PAY UP TO £290

The employee's age factor is as follows:

One week's pay: for each year of employment between the ages of 22-41.

One and a half week's pay: for each year of employment when the employee is 41 or over.

Half a week's pay: for each year of employment below the age of 22

AND

The compensatory award, is designed to compensate the employee for loss of wages and benefits from the time of dismissal. The calculation deducts any new wages of the employee and includes loss of fringe benefits. The compensatory award takes into account:

net loss suffered to the date of hearing
future loss
loss of statutory rights
loss of pension rights.
Future loss, is the estimated loss after the hearing, taking into account issues such as the employee's personal circumstances, the economy and local labour markets.

As indicated above, from 1 October 2004 the new statutory disciplinary, dismissal and grievance procedures were introduced and any dismissal following failure to follow those procedures will be automatically unfair subject to the usual qualifying criteria. In these cases there is also a power to increase/decrease the compensatory award between 10%-50% still within the maximum amount.

So depends on the case.

Answer 2

Hi

The top whack you can possibly get is something like £56,800....however that doesn't mean that you will get that amount sometimes it is as little as £1,000. It depends on how much the tribunal believes the complainant has suffered both financially and emotionally.

The exception to the rule is when the unfair dismissal is due to discrimination. Then the amount is uncapped, this is the ones you usually see on the news for huge sums
