    Breaking - Unfair Dismissal Compensation Cap

    In this episode, Daniel Barnett considers the impact for employers and lawyers on the proposed removal of the cap for the unfair dismissal compensatory award. Important: this episode was recorded before the government’s amendments were considered by the House of Lords, so the content may become out of date if the House of Lords rejects the Commons’ amendments to the Employment Rights Bill. 🎁 FREE STUFF Employment law updates – www.danielbarnett.com        My YouTube channel - www.youtubelegal.co.uk Ask a question - www.danielbarnett.com/podcastquestion 💎 PRODUCTS, MEMBERSHIPS AND COURSES Join the HR Inner Circle – www.hrinnercircle.co.uk Harassment Pack - https://danielbarnett.com/harassment/ HR Platinum Policy Package 2024 – www.polices2024.com The Virtual Employment Law Academy – https://danielbarnett.com/vela/ Ultimate Employment Law 2024 - https://danielbarnett.com/ultimate2024/ Employment Tribunal Compensation course - https://courses.virtualemploymentlawacademy.com/p/employment-tribunal Own-branded email updates for solicitors - www.employmentlawbulletins.com 📚 BOOKS My books include the Employment Law Handbook, Resolving Grievances and Computer and Social Media Misuse (see all books). 🌞 WHO AM I: I'm Daniel Barnett, an employment law and HR barrister.  I advise and represent clients in employment tribunal litigation.
