Open Remove day 1 Statutory Sick Pay and revert back to 3 day qualification

Created by Daniel Rodziewicz
Closes on

We feel this is a poorly conceived plan that is already getting abused from Day 1.

Revert back to 3 days qualification. We believe this system IS and WILL be abused on a regular basis and considering how much business are taxed currently and the state of the country its yet another kick to employers who pay the majority of all income tax. Surely GOV understand that it’s too much of a cost burden to volume employers?
