Announcement on Question Time on Sick Pay

[CDreamer]

Those on zero hour contracts, part-timers & self employed will now be entitled to sick pay for self isolation for Coronavirus.

A good move ,but it is only 75 pounds a week....better than nothing I know .

Should leave these rights after this is all behind us too?

Best QT seen for a long time! For once all the politicians speaking with one voice - Hurray! There is supposed to be a detailed announcement by PM today. Let’s hope it stays! It will mean taxes or borrowing rising but I don’t think that’s a bad thing.

If we want a well resourced Health Service & Social Care System it has to be paid for some how and after all if we are no longer flying around to exacting places to holiday - who knows - we might be able to afford it! Flybe going down is a huge loss for our area and threatens the economy of our regions - SW - especially with the state & expense of the trains.

I know it’s not a lot but it may just make the difference for some and it will be paid from day 1.
