Rejected petition FULL PAY FOR ALL WORKERS WHO ARE REQUIRED TO SELF - ISOLATE.
Increase statutory sick pay to match the salaries of those expected to isolate.
More details
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!
