The additional award

[page 108]

If a tribunal orders reinstatement or re-engagement but the employer refuses to comply and cannot show it was not reasonably practicable to do so, the tribunal will make an additional award of between 26 weeks’ and 52 weeks’ pay, subject to the statutory limit to a week’s pay (£643 from 6 April 2023).
