Each year, the government reviews the statutory cap on weekly pay (used to calculate redundancy pay and the basic award for unfair dismissal) and the maximum compensatory award available under the Unfair Dismissal legislation.  This normally takes place in October.

In October 2009, the statutory cap was increased to £380.  However, as of 1st February 2010, the maximum compensation award is to drop from £66,200 to £65,300.  The statutory cap on a week's pay will remain the same at £380.
