Where the effective termination date fell on or after 29 July 2013, the maximum compensatory award (the unfair dismissal<\/a> cap) is the lower of \u00a376,574 or 52 weeks’ actual gross pay at the time of dismissal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The maximum of a week’s pay for calculating basic award entitlement increases to \u00a3464, where the effective termination date fell on or after 6 April 2014. Therefore, the maximum basic award (30 weeks’ pay) increases to \u00a313,920.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
