Include 0h workers in statutory sick pay during Coronavirus

Rejected 18 signatures

What the petition asks

People on 0h contracts are at risk of financial loss in the wake of the COVID-19 outbreak. As more shifts are being cancelled, people are concerned about losing their only source of financial means.

To maintain their cost of living, the government should issue statutory sick pay based on their average earnings.
