2025 Increases to Employment Tribunal Awards and Compensation Announced

The Employment Rights (Increase of Limits) Order 2025 and Updated Vento Bands

Key Contact: Juliette Franklin

2025 increases to Employment Tribunal awards and compensation have been announced. Earlier this month, the Employment Rights (Increase of Limits) Order 2025 released this year’s increases to the compensation limits and minimum awards that Employment Tribunals can make.

In addition, the compensation bands for injury to feelings (known as “Vento bands”) have also been adjusted for inflation.

These changes are effective in cases where the relevant “appropriate date” (eg the termination date in an unfair dismissal claim or the date of presenting a dismissal claim) is after 6^th April 2025.

The key changes are summarised below.
