Additional Award | Unfair Dismissal

If the employment tribunal asks the employer to re-engage or reinstate the employee and the employer refuses, the tribunal will make these awards against the employer in addition to the Basic Award and the Compensatory Award. The award will be for between 26 and 52 weeks' pay, up to a maximum of £751 per week (from 6th April 2026), so between £19,526 and £39,052.

 

If the employer refuses to take the employee back, the tribunal can also award more than these figures if the employee has, in fact, lost a lot more than this.
