The new figures are based on the September 2022 which increased by 12.6% since the previous year, hence the jump in figures.

The Order includes the following new figures:

• The maximum compensatory award for unfair dismissal increases from £93,878 to £105,707.
• The limit on a week’s pay, which is used for redundancy calculations, increases from £571 to £643.
• The minimum basic award for certain unfair dismissals (including health and safety dismissals) increases from £6,959 to £7,836.

In cases involving unfair dismissal, the new figures will apply where the effective date of termination is on or after 6 April 2023.
