FULL PAY FOR ALL WORKERS WHO ARE REQUIRED TO SELF - ISOLATE.
Rejected
11 signatures
What the petition asks
Increase statutory sick pay to match the salaries of those expected to isolate.
The British public want to do their bit to help stop the spread of COVID-19, however many low income families are being forced to choose between self isolating and food on the table or paying rent & bills. With inadequate testing available people are having to isolate for the full 10-14 days unpaid - Statutory Sick Pay is simply not enough!
