Article 3
SCHEDULEN.I.TABLE OF INCREASE OF LIMITS
Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order increases, from 14th February 2016, the limits applying to certain awards of industrial tribunals, the Fair Employment Tribunal or Labour Relations Agency statutory arbitration, and other amounts payable under employment legislation, as specified in the Schedule to the Order.
Under Article 33 of the Employment Relations (Northern Ireland) Order 1999 (“the 1999 Order”), if the retail prices index (RPI) for September of a year is higher (or lower) than the index for the previous September, the Department is required to change the limits, by Order, by the amounts of the increase or decrease (rounded up as specified in Article 33(3) of the 1999 Order). The increases made by this Order reflect the increase in the index of 0.8% from September 2014 to September 2015.
The increases apply where the event giving rise to the entitlement to compensation or other payments occurs on or after 14th February 2016. Limits previously in operation under the Employment Rights (Increase of Limits) Order (Northern Ireland) 2015 (S.R. 2015 No. 169) are preserved by Article 4 of the Order in relation to cases where the relevant event was before that date.
An impact assessment is not required because the 1999 Order provides for indexation according to a pre-determined formula (i.e. RPI).
