| The Government has just published its important and significant amendments to the Employment Rights Bill.
As widely anticipated, the relevant amendment now says:
“Omit Section 124” – which is the section of the Employment Rights Act 1996 containing the caps on the unfair dismissal compensatory award. It also substitutes a six month qualifying period for the current two year period.
So, if this passes in the House of Lords, unfair dismissal compensatory awards will become uncapped, just like discrimination and whistleblowing claims.
Expert employment law advice has always been crucial, but now more so than ever. |
