The amount of money that an employee may receive for unfair dismissal can vary widely and depend on several factors such as the length of employment, the employee’s salary, and the circumstances of the dismissal.
In the United States, there is no federal law regarding unfair dismissal, so the compensation varies depending on the state. Some states have no cap on the amount an employee can receive, while others have limits.
In the United Kingdom, the maximum amount of compensation that an employee can receive for unfair dismissal is currently capped at £88,519 or 52 weeks’ pay, whichever is lower. However, the average award is typically much lower, usually around £15,000 to £25,000.
It’s also important to note that the compensation for unfair dismissal is not guaranteed and it’s up to the courts or tribunals to decide the amount, based on the evidence presented.
