Rejected petition For workers to recieve the track and trace self isolation benefit who lost out
For those who have worked through the pandemic and especial those in the private health care sector who are not getting company sick pay only statutory sick pay. Should be entitled to the track and trace payment scheme but unfortunately alot do not qualify. This is outrageous
More details
It should be for workers who have worked and are working during the pandemic they shouldn't have to meet benefit or kids criteria. Carer workers especially have only recieved statutory sick pay and not the track and trace funding. These people are putting their lives and their family lives at risk and are not being given the money when they get sick. This is unacceptable. Local councils have discretion payments but we found out the hard way they won't give the payments unless your on receipt of certain benefits and have children.

Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. We're not sure whether you want people who have previously been required to isolate to receive a payment, or to extend the payment to anyone who needs to isolate in future.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
