 The compensatory award

– This is discretionary and will be an amount that is just and equitable
having regard to the employee’s losses up to a statutory maximum. The
losses will be assessed on the usual principles of damages for breach of
contract.

 The additional award

– This award is made if an order for reinstatement or re-engagement is
ignored, the dismissal was on the grounds of discrimination or the reason
for dismissal was an automatically unfair one.
