Rejected

What the petition asks
The Govt.should provide funding to enable care workers to be paid full pay for the whole period they are forced to self-isolate.
Many carers working irregular hours will be unable to prove they earn above the threshold of £118 a week to qualify for the payment. Meanwhile, those that do receive SSP while self-isolating will take home far less than they would in a normal week meaning it will cause “significant financial hardship for them and their families”.
Why it was rejected
It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.
