Chapter 2

Compensation

[ch 2: page 25]

As a result of European law, there is no cap on the level of compensation that can be awarded for discrimination under the EA 10. In practice, however, awards are not high. The median award for pregnancy or maternity discrimination in 2013 was just £8,000 (source: Equal Opportunities Review).

For more information on calculating compensation, see the LRD’s annual guide for reps, Law at Work (www.lrdpublications.org.uk/publications.php?pub=BK&iss=1827)
