Stop work places having two tier sick pay for unvaccinated employees

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

If an unvaccinated individual is isolating due to catching COVID and a vaccinated individual has to isolate for the same reason they should receive the same sick pay and not be discriminated against over vaccination status.
Any company that gives company sick pay to vaccinated employees should be made to give the same to unvaccinated employees to stop people from coming into work with a fear of losing money and risking others lives.
