The amount of pay that an employee is due each week for the purposes of many individual statutory rights, as defined in sections 221-229 of the ERA 1996. For some of these individual statutory rights, a week’s pay is subject to a statutory limit (for example, a week’s pay is the basis for calculation of the statutory redundancy payment and the basic award).

For the current statutory limit, see Checklist, Current rates and limits for employment lawyers: Week's pay.

For detailed information, see Practice note, A week's pay under the ERA 1996.
