The additional award 



[ch 10: page 390]

If the employment tribunal makes an order for reinstatement or re-engagement but the employer does not reinstate or re-engage 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 (£489 from April 2017). The minimum additional award is the lower of 26 weeks’ pay and £12,714, and the maximum is the lower of 52 weeks’ pay and £25,428 (from April 2017).
