The Court recommended a basic rate of £6.30 an hour and 21 months’ compensation for loss of earnings, capped at £15,000. It recommended five weeks’ pay per year of service plus statutory entitlement for redundancy, capped at £40,000, and five weeks’ pay per year of service for self-drive terms, with the cap remaining at £20,000. It recommended no change to the company’s early retirement and pension proposals.
