I am doing a couple of cases that require me to check up the likely compensation for discrimination at work. Here are my notes. …
Compensation is based on actual financial loss, hurt feelings (to be considered a breach of rights), compensation for any work related injuries inc. stress and aggravated damages (if the employer’s behaviour was particularly bad.)
Here is a page from citizen’s advice, which categorises the damages into three classes, (Low, Middle & High)
Here is a table, taken from that site.
| Band | Value | Description |
| Lower | £900 -£8,800 | For less serious cases such as a one-off act |
| Middle | £8,800 - £26,000 | For cases which are serious but don't fall into the top band. For example, a serious one-off act of harassment or where you lost your job because of the discrimination |
| High | £26,300 - £44,000 | High £26,300-£44,000 For the most serious cases of discrimination. For example, where there's been a length campaign of discriminatory harassment |
These are updated on a periodic basis and called “vento bands”.
