Expert Legal Support in Winning Protective Awards.
A Protective Award is compensation of up to 90 days’ pay (or up to 180 days’ net pay if made redundant after 6 April 2026) that an Employment Tribunal can award where an employer fails to collectively consult before making 20 or more redundancies within a 90-day period.
Protective Award claims most commonly arise where employees are dismissed suddenly, often after an employer enters insolvency or administration
