Closed petition Increase Statutory Sick Pay (SSP)

Change SSP to 100% for the first 6 weeks, 80% for the next 20 weeks and 70% of the employee’s salary for a period of up to 78 weeks.

More details

SSP is too low, the people work hard but when life comes to difficulties is hard to leave. Other countries like Germany or France have similar systems.

About petition data

The data shows the number of people who have signed the petition by country as well as in the constituency of each Member of Parliament. This data is available for all petitions on the site. It is not a list of people who have signed the petition. The only name that is shared on the site is that of the petition creator.

We’re waiting for a new Petitions Committee
