Closed Require private nurseries to pay sick pay for employees at full wage

Closed on

As practitioners working first hand with early years children, we sometimes pick up sickness bugs, conjunctivitis and flu. We can lose pay for being off sick and it can effect our Bradford score when the germs may have been passed to us while doing our jobs.

I think we need more support and if we are ill from a bug that’s going around the workplace, the company should cover our sick pay at the same rate as our wages. I think that the staff are the heart of most work places.
