Closed Give employees a right to full pay during sick leave

Closed on

The Government should give employees a statutory entitlement to full pay when they are off sick, for at least the first several weeks of sickness, in line with entitlements in many other countries. Many employees are only entitled to £96.35 per week in Statutory Sick Pay (SSP). This is not enough.
