Petitions had to stop because of the recent general election. Once a new Petitions Committee is set up by the House of Commons, petitions will start again.

Closed petition Give employees a right to full pay during sick leave

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.

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
