In a rare joint intervention, the TUC and Federation of Small Business joined forces to call on the Chancellor to deliver sick pay for all. |
| In a letter to Rishi Sunak, the two organisations representing workers and small businesses urged the chancellor to “create an effective sick pay system to underpin the economic recovery, ensure that all workers that need access to sick pay would receive it regardless of earnings, and make sure that all employers would be able to afford it.” The lower earnings limit means that statutory sick pay is only available to employees earning £120 per week or more – leaving two million low-paid workers, mostly women, without any sick pay at all. |
