Make Statutory Sick Pay Fairer and Reflect the Real Cost of Living

Make Statutory Sick Pay Fairer and Reflect the Real Cost of Living — 7 signatures. Status: rejected.

Petition background

Call on the UK Government to reform Statutory Sick Pay . better reflects the real cost of living. Nobody should have to choose between recovering from illness and being able to afford food, rent and essential bills. We deserve a sick that is 80% for full time jobs

Additional details

I think it's not fair that people with full time jobs that are committed to work and pay tax are subject to £ 123.25 a month and people with part time jobs are allowed to get 80% of their salary. We might at provide protection for full time jobs like European countries where social care and employers hat provides 80% of employees that face illness for surgeries that will not allow to work for weeks . That is not fair as this full time jobs are the ones that hel social care in this country
