Scope: A CEILING, and a ceiling twice over — the same shape as the accompaniment award. Section 80I(1)(b) lets the tribunal award "such amount as it considers appropriate" up to the prescribed maximum, and it may order the employer to reconsider the application instead of compensating at all; and an employee whose own week's pay is below the statutory limit is capped at their own week's pay. The week-count is Tribunal award: flexible working (weeks' pay) and the cap is Maximum week's pay (redundancy and unfair dismissal); this record is only their product (D14), and the build refuses a build in which the three disagree.

How it is worked out: Tribunal award: flexible working (weeks' pay) × Maximum week's pay (redundancy and unfair dismissal) — recomputed from its corroborated inputs on every build.

Compiler's notes

Not a figure any document states, which is the whole reason it is a derivation. The third of the three capped-weeks companions D14(b) named, and the last to land: its week-count limb needed the 2014 Regulations' as-made text, which was not archived until the relay parked it. No GOV.UK page states the eight weeks or the product, so the week-count record is single-source A and both limbs are cited here as legislation. Dated from the cap, not from the Regulations.
