The Presidents of the Employment Tribunals for England and Wales and for Scotland have updated the Vento bands, in line with changes to the Retail Prices Index (RPI).
The increased Vento bands are as follows:
- Lower band: £1,200 to £12,100 (previously up to £11,700), for less serious cases.
- Middle band: £12,100 to £36,400 (previously up to £35,200), for cases which do not merit an award in the upper band.
- Upper band: £36,400 to £60,700 (previously up to £58,700), for the most serious cases.
- Awards exceeding £60,700 can be awarded in the most exceptional cases.
The updated bands will apply to all employment tribunal claims submitted on or after 6 April 2025.
