Updated with information on the Government response to the consultation on strengthening remedies against abuse of rules on collective redundancy and fire and rehire.
The government has confirmed it will table an amendment to the Employment Rights Bill to double the maximum protective award from 90 to 180 days' pay where an employer fails to comply with collective redundancy obligations, for example, in fire and rehire situations.
We look at four employment law cases where the employee was successful and the tribunal ordered the employer to pay substantial compensation in three of them.
