Compensation for Unfair dismissal
There are three basic forms of compensation for unfair dismissal.
- The first is 'reinstatement', which means you get your job back and are paid for wages not received since the unfair dismissal occurred. This will usually only be awarded if your relationship with your employer remains amicable.
- The second is 're-engagement' which will see you re-employed in a different but comparable job. Again, this is only available where the relationship remains generally intact.
- The third and most common remedy for unfair dismissal is 'compensation' and one of the factors the tribunal will consider is whether you tried to use the employer's procedures to appeal before resorting to law.
Monetary compensation is calculated as a Basic Award and a Compensatory Award. The Basic Award for unfair dismissal takes into account your age, years of employment and average earnings, although there are statutory limits on the pay level and period of employment.
In addition the tribunal has the choice of adding a Compensatory Award, which is currently set at a maximum of £68,400 and which is intended to compensate you for loss of earnings and any other expenses arising from the unfair dismissal including loss of benefits and other costs.
