How tribunal compensation is structured

The basic award

Calculated exactly like statutory redundancy pay: half a week’s pay per year under 22, one week per year aged 22–40, and one and a half weeks per year aged 41 or over, subject to the same weekly pay cap and 20-year limit.

The compensatory award

Covers actual financial loss — lost wages, pension and benefits — from dismissal until you find comparable work. It is capped at the lower of the statutory maximum and 52 weeks’ gross pay.

Time limit. You normally have three months less one day from your dismissal to start Acas Early Conciliation, which is required before you can bring a tribunal claim. Missing it usually ends the claim.
This is an illustrative estimate, not a prediction of any tribunal outcome and not legal advice. Awards depend heavily on the facts, on mitigation, and on tribunal discretion. Take advice from an employment solicitor or contact Acas on 0300 123 1100.
