Forty-six former members of staff at Harrogate firm CNG have won an employment tribunal against the failed company worth about £210,000.
The ex-colleagues claimed CNG didn't follow the correct redundancy procedures when the firm went into administration last year.
A tribunal in Leeds agreed with their claim, brought by solicitor Nuala Toner, and awarded them 90 days' pay as compensation.
However, each claimant's award was capped at eight weeks and a maximum of £571 a week. It means the total sum awarded to the group as a whole is about £210,000.
Any remaining sum owed can be claimed in the insolvency process, although whether any funds will be left when all creditors are paid remains to be seen.
The compensation will be paid by the government's Redundancy Payment Service because CNG is in administration.
