Rejected petition Raise Statutory Sick Pay SSP

Raise SSP in line with minimum wage/income

More details

The current level is not sufficient to sustain a livable income, many that find themselves relying in this will be on minimum wages, many can't amass savings as minimum wage only takes living costs into consideration.
£95 per week that is taxed is well below minimum wage therefore logically needs to be reviewed
