Updated Vento Bands

31 May 2022

The Fifth Addendum to the Presidential Guidance on employment tribunal awards for injury to feelings has been published by the Presidents of the Employment Tribunals in England and Wales and Scotland.

The Addendum sets out the updated Vento bands which have been adjusted to take account of inflation by applying the Retail Price Index measure.

For claims presented on or after 6 April 2022, the bands are now:

  • lower band = £990 to £9,900 (for less serious cases);
  • middle band = £9,900 to £29,600  (for cases that do not merit an award in the upper band); and
  • upper band = £29,600 to £49,300 (for the most serious cases, with the most exceptional cases potentially exceeding £49,300).

Comment: The new bands indicate that awards have approximately doubled in the five years since 2017 when the upper band limit was set at £25,000 for the most serious cases.
