FAQs

What is a Protective Award?

A Protective Award is compensation employees may receive when their employer fails to properly consult staff before making 20 or more redundancies. It can be worth up to 90 days’ pay.

Payments usually come from the Redundancy Payments Service (RPS) – a government body -not from the employer directly.

You may be eligible if:

  • You were part of a group of 20+ redundancies
  • You were given little or no consultation
  • The business went into administration, liquidation, or closure
  • It happened within the last 3 months

You can receive up to 90 days pay if the tribunal grants a full Protective Award.

However, the government applies a weekly pay cap, which is E719 as of April 2025.

Your final compensation depends on your weekly wage (capped at 719), multiplied by the number of days awarded.

No, we handle all legal submissions on your behalf. In almost all cases, claimants do not need to attend.

Once submitted, RPS typically processes claims within 6-12 weeks, depending on workload and administrator cooperation.

Basic details of your employment are usually enough. If anything additional is required, we’ll guide you through it.

No – because claims are made against the government and not your former employer. There are no upfront fees, and you only pay if the claim is successful.
