Hi there
Does anyone know how Ex-Gratia payment is calculated?
Also can you reject the first (or subsequent) Ex Gratia offers?

Thanks

    Can I also ask how it was calculated?

    Surely you would have to ask the Company concerned how it was calculated as I would imagine different businesses use different criteria and methods of calculation?

    There no 'official' formula or minimum so you would have to ask the company how they calculated it.

    They're also not obliged to give an explanation because there is no contractual or legal obligation for a company to give an ex gratia payment.

    First the gratitude is weighed in kilograms and then it is multiplied by the purity of the gratitude in percent and divided by 100 to end up with the pure gratitude in kilograms. This is then multiplied by the value of gratitude in £/kg
    You might as well ask the Wizard of Oz to give you a big number as pay a Credit Referencing Agency for a so-called 'credit-score'
